Be sure to watch carefully about 1:10 where it happens, but you won't see until the slow motion replay at 1:46 what actually happens.

The assassin looks him right in the eye with such intent.
Also, what type of sword is that he uses, is it short type?

Its called a Wakizashi and its typically 47cm long (18.5 inches) and were only warn by Samurai. Its a weapon more suited for close range.
Here is a nito-giri-do clip.
Hans Fricke - Kyoshi
NITO GIRI DO is the art of simultaneously cutting and thrusting into a target with either a katana and wakizashi or with two katana.
