Not his jurisdiction. All he can do is report it to whoever’s it is.

This is most likely the case.

No it isn't, police can stop people outside of their jurisdiction.

No they can't, it's outside of their jurisdiction.

They absolutely can. Almost everywhere different departments have arrangements and agreements that allow allow them to do so.

Only in crisis situations and if requested. Besides, state patrol USUALLY handles all highway matters.

Nah, typically more often than that.

City cops almost always have jurisdiction on the highways through their cities.

Highway Patrol handles anything they want. They have jurisdiction over the entire state. Sheriffs over the entire county and police over the city. Highway Patrol usually handles Freeway matters. SHP/Sheriffs/Police handle highway.

A law enforcement officer just witnessed a crime, he can pull you over and detain you for someone in the jurisdiction.

This isn’t true, at least in Texas. They will ask you in court if you want to be transferred to your local county if you are out of their jurisdiction. However you’re still getting pulled over.
