Is that the third wheel on top of the train bridge? Is it normal to be above the bridge on vintage watches? (I obviously no nothing about movements, but it looks cool and strange to see the wheel above the bridge like that.)

Yep the third wheel has an extra long pivot, this extra third wheel is pressed fit on that pivot and drives the seconds pinion. This was very common back in the day, the Rolex cal. 15×× has it as well
