if the pully stops while the belt moves...is it the tensioner?

Its commonly a belt, sometimes the tensioner, and even less common, the A/C compressor.

The A/C compressor works like a clutch, it should always be spinning, but the inside piece isnt connected to anything, once you turn the a/c on, the pulley hooks up with the compressor, doing its A/C thing.

Id try a new belt, its almost always the culprit, if that doesnt work, try the tensioner, and hey, you have a spare belt for emergencies now
