I noticed that the 2001 Upper Deck Prospect Premieres #84 Sean Henn has the twin towers in the background. Are there any other cards that feature the World Trade Centers?

I forget which year, but IIRC Fleer Ultra (or it could have been either Leaf or Topps Stadium Club) did a thing in the early 1990s where the card backs would feature the player superimposed on landmarks of the cities their team represented. The Towers were one of the NY ones.

Those Fleer (or whatever they were) cards as you say had the players superimposed, these Premieres seem to be actual photographs so to me that makes them a lot nicer.

Where were they taken from exactly, does anybody know?

I found the two of them on Ebay for about a buck each, so I ordered them, I think its neat.
