Ste is a copula used with adjectives, but it is derived from English "stay". There's a difference between etymological derivation and definition, but you're right about em veida tro—it's derived from "him/them invader patrol".

And, yes, Trigedasleng is a slurred dialect of American English. However, it's not based on AAVE or any recognized "urban slang" dialect of English, as DJP has said himself multiple times. It shares similarities, because both AAVE and Trigedasleng derive from the same language, but those similarities are coincidental, kind of like the similarities between Italian and Spanish.
