That's the heat riser that goes to the air cleaner, a small diameter flexible metal tube.
Hurts nothing being left off, it uses heat off exhaust manifold to heat incoming air into engine.

Yep - part of the old "Thermactor" system. Used during warmup to better vaporize gasoline. Used a vacuum switch control.

Yup, still a commonly available part. Pretty sure Gates still makes them. The 6.0 uses the larger of the two available sizes. Used tower clamps from the factory.
