Salaamun alaikum,
It's indeed a concordance albeit with some difference from Kassis's concodance. I'm surprised it's spelled 'muCam' when there's no 'ch' (as in 'chair') in Arabic. I think the correct spelling is 'muJam' (as from the root 'jamaa').
One difference is that kassis roots 'madeenah' to 'MDH' while Abdul Baqi roots it to 'DYN' (making more sense to me).
By all means please get it. If nothing else, its advantage over Kassis's concordance is that it allows you to study it in Arabic itself.

Yes.
It's called Al-Mu'jam al-Mufahras
It's basically an index of every word that appears in the Reading.
For example If you wanted to look up the word "sun" (shams), you would flip to the header of letter "sh" , and soon you'll find every verse in which the word "shams" appears.
It makes it easy to locate words in the Reading.
The man who compiled it has done a great service to Islam.
