Yes, one side bolts to the transmission and the other to the stock cat. No need to be scared, not really a functional part. I haven't had one on my car for 5 years, no issues caused by not having it.

Either it didn't get re-installed correctly or the bolt rusted out completely. My money is on improper install.

since you have to take that off and put it back on, its the guy who did the clutch, just take it back hand it to them and say this fell off, and they should be happy about putting it back on, and making sure they didn't leave anything else loose

It actually goes from the stock exhaust manifold to the trans. It takes all of five minutes to put on if you have the tools and the bolts.
