Its definitely getting revoked the moment it hits their desk. It barely passed 5-4 back then and this is a much more conservative court.Republicans would get completely fucking wiped out if it happens. Look at the damage they did to themselves overturning RvW.
The court can always decline to entertain this bullshit or claim lack of standingBut they won't. Sam Alito is on a mission from God.

If they overturn it and ban gay marriage, what happens to the people already married?

They'd probably finagle it in bullshit ways like Roe, where it'd be left up to states. Red states would nullify gay marriages and then start making legislation that they don't recognize gay marriages from blue states.RFMA explicitly makes that illegal. What they will probably do is allow people like Kim Davis to refuse to issue certificates.

Gay married couples can't have their marriages annulled, and states that ban gay marriage have to recognize gay marriages that were performed in states where it's legal.
