When I do push the end of the stick, will the other end move immediately ? Or will the stick contract for a brief moment before it entirely moves ?

"Does it Contract For A Moment Before ALL Of It Moves ?"
Yes.

Of course the other end isn't going move right away any more than a sheep will move right away if I ask it. That would be communication faster than light.
The onset of movement propagates up the stick at the speed of sound at best.

Yes.

Nothing is completley stiff, everything has a flex so it does not move all at once.
