Strange empty string closure of a dfa

Question

The closure in question is the closure of that final state, I thought it would be the same as the closure of the first state since they both lack a transition out of their respective states on an empty string. What's going on with that final state?

Answer 1

Nothing is going on. The closure of the final state is the state itself (q2), as you thought. The other text in that line describes the transition function for symbol a and state q0 and has nothing to do with the closure, imo.
