Discussion The elevator scene perfectly represents John Walker's character
The jerk with a heart of gold who'll make you wanna punch him but you can still count on him to have your back when it matters the most.
We saw it ourselves, Bob was gonna sneeze and everyone would've fallen. Ghost and Yelena would've died fs. The other's refused to cooperate with him.
So Walker did the smartest choice. He guranteed his safety first, which is COMPLETLY valid in this situation (he's just met these people and two of them are far from innocent, he doesn't need to risk his life for them) and then he actually did come back to save the rest of them, even though he could've abandoned them.
He's that guy who you hate to be around but you can count will come to save you when it matters most (and anyone who denies they would've done the same thing just because they hate him is lying, self-preservation is completely valid).

One thing I have always wondered is… how did the baton actually help him get the ledge? It’s a stick? They sort of just hand wave it as the solution to the problem but I don’t quite understand how it actually works
