No it can not be. It is probably java but I don't know if you can mix java and javascript ......

You can use server-side scripting to dynamically build pages, which is what the code you provided does, and client-side Javascript will work fine. You're not mixing the 2 languages, since one runs ONLY on the server, and the Javascript doesn't see anything until the client computer browser has the page.

No. It is server-side includes' environment variable being "echoed" to the page. It will be substituted when the page is parsed server-side.
