This is called a petri dish named after a German bacteriologist, Julius Petri.
A dish cloth is used for washing dishes and a dish towel is used to dry them.

Through microbes you breath in then the microbes settle and grow into fungus
A covered dish used to grow cells is typically called a cell culture dish or cell culture plate. It provides a sterile environment for cells to grow, allowing for maintenance and proliferation under controlled conditions. The cover helps to prevent contamination and maintain the desired cell culture conditions within the dish.
It depends on the amount of salt. It can "pull" the water out of the microbes, killing them. This is the reason salt is used to preserve food as microbes can't grow on very salty food.
The lid keeps the petri dish from being contaminated, and the basic shape makes them easy to stack and arrange in varied configurations.
Microbes will start to grow on the meat rather rapidly. The longer the meat is at 60°F, the more the microbes will grow.
