It sounds like the item you are describing is an Air Gap Fitting for the dishwasher. It is used to prevent sewage/dirty water from entering the dishwasher from the sink drain. Some Plumbing Codes require it to be installed. You can get kitchen sinks with multiple holes to allow you to install a sprayer and still have your air gap device.

Is there a step up transformer that I can purchase to use a 220V 50Hz 13A kitchen appliance in a regular kitchen in the US?

A transformer will not change the frequency. 50 Hertz in 50 Hertz out. 60 Hertz in 60 Hertz out. Transformers main purpose is to change one voltage value to different voltage value. Depending on what the kitchen appliance is and whether it has a motor involved in its operation, the appliance could be connected to the 240 volt North American distribution supply. If the appliance was identified, an answer of yes or no could be supplied.
