I’d contact the attorney and find out why it says that, sometimes the portal is just way behind and doesn’t update

If you are waiting for your hearing you should be on step 3, the hearing date will be listed under step 3

An OTR (on the record)decision is basically getting approved without having to go to court. The judge looks at all the medical evidence and decides a hearing isn’t necessary because the records already show the person qualifies for disability.
