If u have some spare bolts laying around, try some til one fits. Or... Since u gotta get under there anyway, remove the other one and take it with u to the hardware store. Btw, that little brace is removed on my car and I know others have removed it as well. Really not even sure what purpose it serves. If the exhaust gets too close to it, it rattles like holy hell. Unless you really want it on there, you could just remove it.

Scrapped it on mine. You dont want the exhaust just sitting on it, that would make all kinds of wild noises.

Yeah. That's prob why it broke to begin with. The exhaust shouldn't touch it at all.
