'der Stand' and 'der Kiosk' can both be small places where something is sold. 'der Stand' is often a sales spot at a market, trade fair, or event, and it may only be there for a short time. 'der Kiosk' is more like a small permanent shop, often on the street, at a train station, or in a park. You might buy drinks, newspapers, or sweets there, for example. The words can be confused because a kiosk can look like a small sales stand. When talking about a market or trade fair, 'Stand' is more natural. If it is a small permanent shop, 'Kiosk' fits better.
