try googling riveted bicycle cable stop.
Yes, that certainly looks like the part

Probably the same. A bike shop should be able to do this easily - if you want to do it yourself, you’ll need a drill or dremel, the appropriate stop fitting (doesn’t have to be identical or Trek-specific - it’s just a basic cable stop with a rivet hole), a rivet and the tool to install it. You can also get clamp-on stops, just put some wrap or tape under it so it doesn’t gouge into the carbon
My normal LBS didn't know (nor did a couple of mechanics that were set up during the ride), but I guess the chief mechanic wasn't in, said maybe come back on Monday. I've never seen a blind rivet that small, and didn't know if riveting to a carbon frame was common practice. Interested in the clamp on stop. Drilling out the old and replacing with something like that should be pretty easy. I didn't want to try drill out a threaded screw without realizing it and bugger up the threads.
