Can archer fight on par with a servant by tracing the servant's noble phantasm(assuming it can be traced) and use it against that servant?

In a fight with Archer only using his opponents weapon(s), no for the following reasons:
1) His traced weapons are all one rank downgraded (unless he broken phantasms them).
2) Even though he can possess his opponents skills, Archer have very low stats, so he'll almost always be inferior to his opponent.
3) He's an Archer, and specializes in long range combat. Whereas he can fight another Archer in the same playing field, if he tries to fight a non-Archer using their style, he'll have to fight against them with all their advantages, whereas he wouldn't have them.
4) Like Gilgamesh, he's an "owner", not a "welder".
Though like Gilgamesh, he'll likely possess a Noble Phantasm that his enemy hero is weak against and use it to take them out.
I'm not sure though if he has Enkido in his UBW though, if he did, he could use it to immobolize divine-type opponents.

Can archer counter Rider Bellerophon?

Maybe with Hrunting, though he'll probably try using Harpe before Rider uses Bellerphon (According to legend, Medusa was killed via Harpe)

Why did he want to stall things, isn't he on caster side? Then again he betrays caster...what is archer planning anyway??

The only reason he didn't kill Caster right off the bat during their first encounter was because he wanted Caster to Rule Breaker him and sever his contract with Rin. Rin's first accidental use of her command mantra forces Archer to obey her orders. Then it was just finding an opportune moment to join Caster.
His original plan was to kill figure out a way to kill Shirou, let Saber make a contract with Rin, then probably help Rin win the war by helping Saber take out Gilgamesh out of nowhere when the time was right.
