Question: Niles says about the garter Roz brings that he "especially likes the little adometre", or something similar. What does that mean?
Answer: Odometer. It's the thing in the car that measures how far you've gone. It's a joke on how many guys she's been with.
Question: What was the point of Mel being written as having a son? He is barely mentioned.
Answer: It fleshes out her character as being previously married, divorced, and having a child – typical for someone her age. It gave her a backstory.
Niles sees the photo of the adult son and guesses that Mel was young when her son was born. One of her employees scoffs at the comment. The joke is that Mel is probably older than Niles thinks and may have had cosmetic surgery, being in the business herself. Maris was also a few years older than Niles, so it's another way in which Mel is similar to Maris. Frasier later says that she is "Maris all over again".
Answer: He says that his wife left him in the Caribbean for a Rastafarian. It sounds like 'wasta-fah-wian' due to his speech impediment.
