What is ectopic mucosa in the upper third of the esophagus? is it concerning?

It depends on the type of mucosa. All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Wish you good health!
