My creature enchanted with Brilliant Halo dies. In response to aura's trigger, my opponent uses Nomad Mythmaker's ability to return it to play under his control. Question is: does Halo still return to my hand after it's triggered ability resolves? (I'm in doubt here, because it doesn't say to return it from my graveyard, but rather just to return it. :-/)

You won't get your halo back, because the halo that is now on the battlefield isn't the same one that was in your graveyard when the ability triggered, so the game can't find it when the ability resolves.

Quote from the rule »
400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence.
Once it changes zones, the trigger will 'lose track of' the card and will not return it to your hand.
The two rules that most come into play in this sort of situation are:
400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. There are six exceptions to this rule:...
603.6. Trigger events that involve objects changing zones are called "zone-change triggers." Many abilities with zone-change triggers attempt to do something to that object after it changes zones. During resolution, these abilities look for the object in the zone that it moved to. If the object is unable to be found in the zone it went to, the part of the ability attempting to do something to the object will fail to do anything. The ability could be unable to find the object because the object never entered the specified zone, because it left the zone before the ability resolved, or because it is in a zone that is hidden from a player, such as a library or an opponent's hand. (This rule applies even if the object leaves the zone and returns again before the ability resolves.) The most common zone-change triggers are enters-the-battlefield triggers and leaves-the-battlefield triggers.
