Closest thing I figure, too, but it still seems like a weird place to be in unless it literally JUST left escort pattern and broke off in reverse. I'm no air force but I guess I'd have expected a slightly different pattern to avoid interference with possible other air traffic.
Could also be a camera lens making 'em look closer, in which case it makes more sense I guess.
There wouldn’t be any other aircraft landing or taking off they suspend until all is clear. Fighter jets escort to landing then peal off one on either side, I suppose they could continue straight however, they must have had clearance to break off.
AF1 is landing so the escorts return to base I believe, they don’t land with it.

I'm sure no other planes would have authorization, but safety protocols would likely dictate operating as though there may be other planes.
Yeah IDK, probably just broke off and such, but weird anyway.
