Does the concept of someone Pressing generally acting earlier in the combat round than someone Holding make sense though? What do people think?

I think the holds should be LIGHTLY penalized because they are basically hesitating (for whatever reason) in the heat of the moment. I might have the people declaring "HOLD" roll initiative with a smaller die to emulate that.
