Moonhold doesn't stop effects that "put a card onto the battlefield."
Moonhold is not a counterspell. It will have no effect on creature spells the targeted player cast before Moonhold resolved.
The spell cares about what mana was spent to pay its total cost, not just what mana was spent to pay the hybrid part of its cost.
