attached to small diameter vacuum hose coming off the back of the inlet manifold, I broke the hose barb off the valve looking thing in the middle of the attached photo... (trying to get the old crusty hose off ).
What is it?
and can I block off the hose and valve outlets and drive until I get a new one?
It tees into 2 hoses at the back and one of these runs into the chassis near the windscreen washer bottle filler.

That it's for the air recirculation flap of the A/C (only the other flaps are moved by electric motors) and perhaps the diff lock via the T Piece.
Yes you can close the pipe coming out from the intake manifold.
I just broke the very same broided end of the very same part on my ADU motor and I just screw an M6 bolt on a piece of rubber hose and closed the exit/entrance on the manifold till I got the new oneway valve.
I started off bypassing the leaking heater core (until get a new one and have time to replace it), split the old hose coming off the manifold, and the broke the valve trying to replace the hose...
I broke mine earlier this year and found out a cheap fix for it. Buy a T-piece hose connector and a one way valve that is orginally made to prevent washer fluid to go backwards in the washer system. Was about 1,5£ for the parts. And the one way valve was off the shelf from ordinary partstore.
