Does anyone know the purpose of the small light on the cab that I highlighted in the first picture? I wanna say that I've seen a picture of it lit up orange, but I'm not really sure.

It is a light indicating the ATC (cab signals) are cut in and functioning.

This would include, CSX, NS, Septa, NJT, LIRR, P&W, etc. Most freight locos lights are yellow, while the passenger carriers
are lunar white or blue.
