what do you call the large metal mesh on the bottom half and where would it be available?

That was specified as a .177" diameter wire mesh in a 4"x4" lock-crimped grid. The mesh is typically called 'hog panel'. Ideally, it will be powder coated 6 gauge steel so it does not rust.

Is the hog panel flush with the screen? How is it installed?

There's a 'frame' that acts as the porch rail and runs against the columns. The hog panel and screen are attached to that. The screen runs all the way up, so it can be attached over or under the hog panel. Generally, I think it looks better from the outside if the hog panels are placed over the screen, but it's easier to replace screen if it goes on over hog panels.
