The steam pressure would be closer to 2 psig at 104. What you discount
is that the temperature would have been higher if the pressure needed to
be higher. It is not unreasonable to assume 2 psi was all that was
needed with the outlet pipe size used. Remember that Rossi used a
stethoscope to listen to the water boiling as a simple way of
checking. If IH was concerned about this there are various simple ways
to check on the water content of the steam, so why didn't they do this
or ask the ERV to do it? It doesn't make sense. IH had a year to think
about it. Right now all we have is second hand information - the actual
temperature is not known. Presumably the ERV's report spells it out.

Other sources say the temperature was ~104C in which case it
would probably be steam.
Not if there is any pressure. Which I am sure there was. 104 deg C =
219 deg F. 3 psi would be enough:
