The term usually refers to the diagram that you will see here:
http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/vowels.html The diagram is a representation of how vowel sounds are produced.
The vowel diagram represents the positioning of vowels in terms of tongue height and tongue backness. It helps linguists categorize vowels based on these two dimensions and better understand how vowels are pronounced in different languages.
Yes, "vowel" is a vowel.
No, "can" does not have a long vowel sound. The vowel 'a' in "can" is pronounced with a short vowel sound.

The e is a short vowel, while the o is more of a long vowel.
