That's incredible! Can you imagine seeing that done on a large scale?! ..or under water... I wonder if this is done in a controlled atmosphere like helium gas or something to create the different aironomic effects.

#3 From the looks of the video and the reynolds number mentioned at the sart of the video, i think the experiment was conducted in water/liquid.
Vortex rings are achievable in most liquids and gases that aren't too viscous. quite a few aerodynamic experiments are done using water as it lets you use slow everything down while still getting relevant results for air (it's all about having using the same reynolds number).

#4, have a look at vortex rings on wikipedia

Maybe I'm crazy, but at the last frame on the right side I see part of a face, an eye and mouth.
