I think a feitoria is the best guess on this one. I just did a relatively quick check of ports around the Indian Ocean, and anything coming close to the design here was Portuguese feitorias in the Gulf region.
This would also explain the possibility that a cross is on the top of the dome.

Where would the harbor upgrades go?

There is already a harbor. So not a UD for harbor. Just overlooked that...

Is a harbor built on land, actually not a commercial hub in way of mechanics.
It just really doesn't look like Portuguese architecture, particularly with the dome and arched entrance way. I'd expect a feitoria to be more castle-like, with whitewashed walls and a tiled roof, like Elmina Castle:-

Is that what is said in the video? I wonder from where they have that info. But I guess it says nothing about what the Dutch will get as bonuses or who the leader is.

The map is a chart of the docks in Amsterdam (and the language is dutch). Amstel, polder and so on are typical dutch words. The map is a Dutch map.
"And here, as we walk you through our office, pay no heed to the blurry poster in the background that we conveniently hold for a long shot. And we certainly will see nothing of interest if we 'accidentally' open the Civilopedia and leisurely scroll through the list of leaders."This wonder searching just made me think of... has anyone checked the interview videos and stuff if there were any posters in the background?

The announcement trailer just have Sean Bean narrating about his and his daughter's achievements in a FMV.
No hints of potential new civs though (though the base game's intro video depicts Bean as a winged hussar, which eventually led to the Poland civ).

The base game's announcement trailer teased both Gandhi and the dark horse Teddy Roosevelt, which turned out to be correct. I'm quite confident about this trailer's depiction of the crown of Silla, which is far from a generic East Asian crown.

Korea has a good chance of being added in.
What's the dark horse Teddy Roosevelt?
A dark horse is an unexpected candidate who wins. America has always been represented by Washington, Lincoln, or (once) FDR--so Teddy Roosevelt was an unexpected choice. I recall quite a few people being skeptical that they actually selected him until the First Look confirmed it.

I don't think the red stuff is trees. There are trees on the tile that are taller than the red stuff. It might be a flower like fireweed or some kind of red shrub.

The rocks in it however seems a bit similar, but it maybe lacks lakes. And two natural wonders from America in one expansion (and an additional two world wonders too), would be exaggerating.

We still don't have uniques for all of the base districts, so there's no reason to assume that the 2 uniques are for the 2 expansion districts. We still need an Encampment, Commercial Hub, and Campus (I'm not counting Aerodrome/Spaceport for this).
