What's a "passive FRAM"?
Also, why "MRM1's MLM"...
I would have thought that might read instead "the RS's future MLM".
I didn't think the MRM1 had anything to do with MLM, other than being a transport pallet for the MLM's external accessories (as this article highlights).

What's a "passive FRAM"?
Quotes from
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txs/initiatives/harmon%20indictment.pdfSpace Shuttles carried cargo to the ISS. The cargo was sometimes secured to the shuttle by a device called a Flight Releasable Attachment Mechanism ("FRAM").
FRAMs functioned as follows:
a. The cargo was attached to an adaptor plate;
b. The adaptor plate was attached to a removable part of the FRAM called the "Active FRAM";
c. The Active FRAM was attached to a stationary part of the FRAM called the "Passive FRAM";
d. The Passive FRAM was attached to a beam on the sidewall of the Space Shuttle payload bay.
When the Space Shuttle docked at the ISS in orbit, an astronaut would do a space walk into the payload bay and use tools to separate the Active FRAM from the Passive FRAM. The astronaut would hand carry the Active FRAM and its cargo a short distance through space and attach it to a spot on the outside of the ISS. The Passive FRAM would remain attached to the Space Shuttle payload bay.

With MRM in front, what is the item (module?) in the back?

In the first photo, there is a large module behind the MRM-1, I believe that this is the electronic test article for Zvezda.

How do they provide kinetic energy to the MRM1 in order to dock it with Zarya ?

There is a Progress propulsion module attached to the module that will guide it during rendezvous and docking.

You have mixed up with MRM-2.

So I do! Oops. Well, for MRM-1, aren't they just moving it into place with the SSRMS?

Here's a preview of the STS-132 crew patch - the patch for what is currently planned to be Atlantis's final flight.

I think that the back of the Shuttle is to wide.
