New Home / Old Boiler-Burner

in THE MAIN WALL
A friend bought a "new home" that has a Burnham RS-111 boiler-burner.  We've learned that it has a tankless coil heating element for the house's hot water.  We're not clear on how the steam heat works- radiators throughout the house are 2-pipe.  I'm assuming this is steam; could it actually be hot water heated radiators?  It also has an expansion tank which we're not clear how that works either.  Can anybody help us figure out how this kind of system works?  Thanks in advance.
