Much of the joint is hidden by the pickup routing. You can see just a hint on the bottom That is a real nice piece. I would not at ALL concern your self with this. almost ALL guitars have two piece bodies. This one is hidden very well too

I've seen it with some of the more pedestrian pieces of lumber in the back, with a more interestingly figured frontside (whether ash or mahogany - never seen it with alder, but you never know). Same thing could be going on here.

Absolutely not.
It's a solid body, not a chambered body (so not laminated-top).
I think you will find that the other laminated-top bodies are also described as solid, except when they are chambered or hollow - so the "solid" label is not necessarily an indicator of whether a lam-top is present or not.
Further investigations are required...
