They're all stated as 58cm frames, which is what a L TCR is, and what it should be compared to. And yes, if you look at the size guide of pretty much any bike manufacturer that has one, 186cm is in the crossover range for 56/58. Either size is perfectly reasonable for that height, depending on other factors.
Sure, but your opinion is based on thinking he's using a 90mm stem, which he clearly isn't.
My opinion is based on the overall proportions of the bike. Again, the frame is too long to be used with such a small stem
And again, the stem is at least one and probably two sizes longer than you think it is. Your conclusion is based on faulty data, therefore your conclusion is flawed.
