I didn't see your picture the first time. That is the EGR port. You do need to get that bolt out. Try to get a small magnet on a flex extension.

I have no idea what direction it goes. Just let the magnet follow the port.

No, worse. It's headed through the intake and into the cylinder so do not crank the engine over.

If it reaches the cylinder you have to pull the head off but I doubt it has gone that far yet. Just get a magnet and get it out.
