What is this fitting and can I remove it myself?

Trying to replace a leaky tub spout. After getting the old spout off, this is what's left, which doesn't seem to be compatible with a new tub spout. Do I remove this fitting? How do I proceed?

Is this a console sink?

Any idea why the dirty water gets backed into my dishwasher

I do notice my dishwasher outlet is going into the garbage disposal. I am assuming when water accumulate in the garbage disposal is flowing back into dishwasher. I have to run the dishwasher and cancel the cycle so it drains this dirty water from dishwasher. Plus the water smells horrible. Is my dishwasher faulty or the dishwasher outlet should be going into the other drain from the sink??
