Ideally I would like a way of easily toggling it so that a Terminal window (or something of the sort) appears over the top of everything when I press a certain keyboard shortcut and then disappears again when the keyboard shortcut is pressed again (or another keyboard shortcut), but I would like it so that it stays on top of everything while another window is selected. Is there a way to get something like this? Preferably it would be a GNOME Shell extension. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

The GNOME Shell extension Drop Down Terminal is just what you were looking for! Follow these instructions in order to install it.
By pressing the ` key (the one above TAB on most keyboards) you will get a Terminal, press it again and the Terminal will be gone (if you wish to change the keyboard shortcut for it simply go gnome-tweak-tool --> Extensions, press the options button for the Extension and you should find the settings in there).
