To answer the post's questions:
1. The tiny "Mac Pro" is a scaled-down mock up of the Power Macintosh G5, which was the Mac Pro of it's time. There's a video of Jobs showing it off somewhere. Or maybe it was in the Isaacson book and my memory is too vivid. Anyway, it's not a computer, let alone a functional one.
2. The "UPS" is an older Genelec audio speaker. One cable is for AC power and the other cable is for audio. It has the Genelec logo on the back. There are other photos of Jobs' office from the other side that show it's clearly a speaker. And there's another speaker on the other side of his monitor, close to the wall.
3. On the bookshelf are various tinctures and aromatherapy bottles. This has been mentioned somewhere -- probably the Isaacson book, again. Jobs was really into homeopathic medicine.
4. Bonus answer: The little cylinder mounted at the top of Jobs' monitor is an iSight camera, which was ahead of it's time. It had really good video quality and plugged into the Firewire port on the Mac. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight
Edit: grammar.
