I'm a bit confused how what appears to be an Apple TV would show up here.

There used to be a builtin OS X app called Front Row (in Snow Leopard and earlier!) that does this.

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t show the Apple TV there though.

It seems more likely that that’s a jailbroken Apple TV (2nd generation) running a VNC server like this:

Looks like a jailbroken Apple TV 2. There's a VNC server for that.
