I agree, that's the brace, and it holds the front swaybar and provides stability to the front suspension crossmember (see attached diagram, it's pointed at with part #10, though I don't believe it's actually that part based on the price). It could continue to fatigue over time and break. It's a small part, should be easy to find one off a junker or get new. I'd replace it.
The underpanel is also damaged, but it's the metal part that's weird. The tow damage scenario makes the most sense to me, that'd be pretty hard to do by driving backwards onto something.
