I don't get 1:50 - 2:02 (the eclipse).
Is that a total lunar ecplipse as stated in the text?

Lunar eclipse is when Earth is blocking moon = we are aligned Sun - Earth - Moon perfectly, right.
Then.. I don't get it.

You get it fine. I think you might be thinking the bright object in the sky in that section is the Sun. It's the Moon.

I have no idea what's in the video because there's nothing but a blank, white screen.
