The stem is the metal piece that holds the part that you put your hands on to the part that holds the wheels.

I don't know but the clearance between the downtube and the front tire looks ridiculously small.

Could be a custom stem, the only similar one I've seen is a Mutant or a cinelli Alter.
The photo is from flickr, why don't you ask on there?
