Is this a new “branch” on my Monstera growing in? If not, what is this?

That's an aerial root. Perfectly normal for monsteras

The green thing is an aerial root? Aerial roots are typically skinny and brown. This looks like something else

Oh I thought you were talking about the aerial root below that. So that is a stem that is stuck. Usually happens when the humidity is lower when it comes out. Very common in philodendrons. I would use a wet qtip to gently pry it out or mist the area once a day for about a week and if that doesn't help it come out easily, use the qtip method
