Well, if it were my dendrobium I'd get it out of that glass fishbowl, which presumably has no drainage. What medium is it potted in? It's hard to tell from the photo. To answer your questions:
1. Leave the stems alone. They're important for storing food and water and for photosynthesis. It's possible that they might bloom again next year.
2. Just about any balanced plant food will work, just don't overdo it. Dendrobiums don't need a lot of fertilizer.
3. The bathroom is probably not a good place for your orchid unless it has a window that gets plenty of natural light.
Good luck with your orchid, and welcome to the forum!
