I'll have to re-watch at some point, but I think that was just the regular ol' 1701. It's a bit reminiscent of the Ent-A we're used to because they're using the updated DISCO/SNW design for the basic Constitution-class, which incorporates some elements from the original movie refit/Ent-A.
I have to admit, I'm kind of baffled at the timeline of events that was suggested. Supposedly the crew of the ISS Enterprise revolted after the attempted reforms to the empire failed (was this unnamed High Chancellor perhaps mirror Spock, who Prime Kirk influenced during his visit? I'd like to think so). Ascending to that position must have taken him at least a few years, so you'd think the ship would have undergone its major overhaul around the same time as the its prime counterpart during The Motion Picture. In any case, the reforms, revolt and subsequent escape clearly occurred during the 23rd century, probably at least a few years after Mirror, Mirror, which was 9 years after the USS Discovery vanished into the 32nd century.
But then we have this Dr. Cho, who was implied to have been among the rebel crew trying to escape. So they did, and apparently made lives for themselves in the Prime universe. But then, like 100+ years later, in the late 24th-century, Cho is somehow still alive and active enough to revisit this incredibly dangerous shipwreck to plant the clue aboard?
I dunno... all this seems like it's stretching basic common sense, and for no particularly good reason other than the fact the writers wanted to have the mirror Enterprise in an episode for some reason.
When I first saw the ISS, I got a little excited. I thought we were in for some wacky Mirror universe shenanigans or a few callbacks to the TOS or ENT episodes. But nope, just a few reused sets from SNW redressed with the Empire's insignia. Such a wasted potential.

As far as this Breen revelation goes... at least now we know why they joined with the Dominion during the war, and why the female Founder seemed to trust them so much more than her Cardassian allies, or even the Dominion's subject species. The Breen are either in the middle of, or have just recently completed an evolutionary transition from humanoids to a liquid form not unlike the Changelings themselves. The founders may have considered them kindred spirits.
