Yes. That is a ceiling fan. You can find some good fan covers here:

Another good source would VanDykes Restorers.

I am the homeowner. Yes, there is a standard ceiling fan behind the metal grate. The metal grate is an aluminum grill (in their "scroll" style) from Reggio Registers (reggioregister.com) and we had it painted to match the ceiling. We also used the same grill in laundry room for the ceiling fan in there. We had wanted to use fans by the company "Laurelhurst Fans", but they are no longer in business, so this was the next best option we could find for a period look. We are pleased with how they turned out and so far the air circulation/fan seems to be fine.

Can you please tell me the brand/model of the wall sconces? I love their small profile!

The sconces are from Rejuvenation. They were called the "Kent" sconces, but the company has since renamed them to be "Thurman", however the sconce hasn't changed in design.
