It's the small block next to the grab handle at top. This isn't my car. Just an illustration.

If you are talking about the square between the door handle and the silver trim at the top of the door, then it must be new. (Within the red circle below.) It is not present on my 2021 Select.

I'm guessing, but It looks like an access point for whatever is underneath. My 22 Select doesn't have one.

Not present on my MY21 Job 1 premium AWD ER. However, I note that the OP is from France. Maybe a European-specific thing?

There is some kind of mounting bracket there (red circle) for something, but since it's not present on North American models I can't figure it out. Could be a speaker, microphone, antenna, or power port?

It's a speaker for the infotainment system, well at least it is on mine. I have the upgraded B & O system. If you haven't got that system then maybe that's why it is blank

Generally speaking, the thing next to the grab handle over the door, is a cover that reveals a "receptable" (?) for a cargo restraining net. I'm not sure if it is a legal requirement here in Europe (I can check the EC regulations but it takes time), but a cargo net is a reasonably popular accessory.

Why in the back seat?For when you fold the seats to use your Mach-E to the fullest :)

But of course here it is still in the trunk.
