No, it increases the money in circulation. It "creates" the money to buy the security, and that new money is in circulation. At present, the FED is buying U.S. bonds, as part of QE, and this increases the money supply. The goal is to speed up edconomic growth.

What is an agent who buys and sells securities from inventory called?

An agent who buys and sells securities to and from his inventory is called a broker-dealer, although in this specific situation it should be called only a dealer. It is called broker-dealer because all the dealers, entities that keep their own inventory, also frequently act as middlemen between the seller and the buyer. When they act only as brokers, they make money on commissions and not price movements of the securities. As dealers, they mostly make money on price differences.
