How was this Maclaurin expansion derived? For each $|x|<1,$

    I'm not sure what you're asking here. Do you want a different expansion? This is a fairly straightforward approach.

The idea here is to use the Cauchy Product. However, since one series has exponents of $k$ and the other series has exponents of $2j+1$, we need to extract the essence of the product formula: that is, for a given $m$, the products of which terms give $x^m$? That would be when $k+2j+1=m$. Thus, the coefficient of $x^m$ in the final product is
$$
sum_{j=0}^{leftlfloorfrac{m-1}2rightrfloor}overbrace{vphantom{b} a_{m-2j-1} }^{substack{text{coefficient}\text{of $x^{m-2j-1}$}}}overbrace{ b_j }^{substack{text{coefficient}\text{of $x^{2j+1}$}}}
$$

That is,
$$
sum_{k=0}^infty a_kx^ksum_{j=0}^infty b_jx^{2j+1}
=sum_{m=0}^inftysum_{j=0}^{leftlfloorfrac{m-1}2rightrfloor}a_{m-2j-1}b_jx^m
$$

Since $a_k=1$ for all $kge0$, we have
$$
sum_{m=0}^inftysum_{j=0}^{leftlfloorfrac{m-1}2rightrfloor}overbrace{ frac{(-1)^j}{2j+1} }^{b_j}x^m
$$

we have that,

    In the last set of equations, the second line is wrong for exponents $k$ and $2j+1$, and the upper limit in the inner sum on the third line does not make sense because $j$ is the variable of iteration. It is not obvious how $frac{gamma-1}2$ appears in the fourth line (especially since that line says $gamma=k+2j+1$ which is the upper limit in the prevous line).

Corrected: Thanks to robjohn for the mentorship. Since
begin{align} left( sum^{infty}_{k=0}a_k x^kright)left( sum^{infty}_{j=0}b_j x^jright)&=sum^{infty}_{r=0}left( sum^{r}_{j=0}b_j a_{r-j} right)x^{r},;text{where}; r=k+j;text{and};rinBbb{N},.end{align}
we have that,



begin{align} left( frac{arctan x }{1-x} right)&=left( sum^{infty}_{k=0}a_k x^kright)left( sum^{infty}_{j=0}b_j x^{2j+1}right)\&=sum^{infty}_{gamma=0}left( sum^{frac{gamma-1}{2}}_{j=0}b_j a_{gamma-2j-1} right)x^{gamma},;text{where}; gamma=k+2j+1;text{and};gammainBbb{N},\&=sum^{infty}_{gamma=0}left( sum^{frac{gamma-1}{2}}_{j=0}dfrac{ (-1)^{j} }{2j+1} right)x^{gamma},\&= sum^{infty}_{gamma=0}left(sum_{jin D_gamma} dfrac{ (-1)^{j} }{2j+1}right)x^gamma.end{align}
where $D_gamma={jin Bbb{N}:0leq jleq (gamma-1)/2},;a_{gamma-2j-1} =1,,jin D_gamma ,;b_j= (-1)^{j} /(2j+1).$

    In the last set of equations, the second line is wrong for exponents $k$ and $2j+1$, and the upper limit in the inner sum on the third line does not make sense because $j$ is the variable of iteration. It is not obvious how $frac{gamma-1}2$ appears in the fourth line (especially since that line says $gamma=k+2j+1$ which is the upper limit in the prevous line).
