It appears to just be some sort of distribution line. It looks like it connects the hard line to another hard line.

yes that is the brake dampener if you do a search on it you can remove it. you get a better brake feel.

editbe very careful when bending the hard line you don't want to break it.

it's just a junction block so the manufacturer wouldn't have to make a long @$$ steel line from da massa cylinder -->all the way back to the rear brake hydraulics...
