Is this actually going to be restored to steam?

Yes.

Last I heard it would be a cosmetic restoration.

That is not the desire of the museum.

I thought it would never steam again due to the metal being too thin to comply with FRA regulations...

Too thin to comply at it rated working boiler pressure. However, it could be properly rebuilt to fully comply, if the museum raises the funds and desires that. On the other hand, it could be simply "put back together" and operated at reduced boiler pressure, and still comply with FRA regulations.  It gets pretty complicated.
