Biden is either looking at the questioner, or looking to his left where Stephanopoulos is sitting.

Perfectly normal.

It seems that particular room has "IMAX-style" seating where the rows rise to an extreme angle. It looks like they are in this room in the Constitution Center -

He is looking at the person asking the question. He pivots to answer and pivots back to talk to George.

He is active and engaged.
