1 steamed: This is correct. To "steam (vegetables)" is to cook them using the vapor or "steam" from boiling water. "Steaming" food is considered a healthy method of cooking since it does not use oil and retains most of the nutrients of the dish. In the conversation, the stewardess says "It's fresh red snapper (a type of fish) served with steamed vegetables". Steam is simply vaporized water, and is used in "steam engines" and "steam locomotives" (a type of older train).
2 having: This is correct. In English, the verb "to have" is often used when ordering food and drink: "I'll have a glass of Bordeaux and three and a half escargots, please". In the conversation, Bruno and Donna use this verb several times in this way.
3 beverages: A "beverage" is simply another word for a drink. It can be alcoholic, non-alcoholic, juice, water, etc. In this dialogue, the stewardess offers Donna and Bruno a wide assortment of "beverages". People in the service industry (waiters, flight attendants, bartenders, etc) are more likely to use this term than others.
