Answer 1

This appears to be the close cousin of the bottle palm, called the Spindle palm. Those growths are going to bloom into flowers, and eventually a fruit. Here is an article with information about the tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/spindle-palm/growing-spindle-palm-trees.htm
