Those high pitch sounds are called pinch harmonics. The way you do this by lightly, and i mean LIGHTLY touch the string with the flesh of your thumb after you hit it with the pick. it only works in a few spots, but he found a couple.

Actually it's NOT a pinch harmonic. As you said a pinch harmonic is done by using your thumb as you pick the note. I am picking the note then touching the string 12 or 5 frets above the note. It's more a natural harmonic. As far as pinch harmonics working in a few spots, it works in 5 main spots that give a 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and octave scale degree simply by applying the pinch technique various places on the string.
