when you use a torniquette, what happens to the blood that is sent to the blocked artery as more blood is pumped in? Does it somehow get absorbed, does it flow back or does it just stagnates there?

It’s like when you shut off your water faucet. The water is still there and under the pressure of the system, but it can’t flow like it used to.
It does get more complicated because there are other ways it can go and liquid can leave as lymph. In general though that is a good ELI5 analogy, you shouldn’t have a torniquette on long enough that much else matters.
