To me it looks like the vacuum switch that controls EGR function.
I'm not sure what else.

Yeah, it's got it's electrical connection but it sure looks like something else is supposed to connect to it. Stupidly, I cannot remember what was there when I took it off.

There's another pic of one here, but it might not be of help.

That is the vent port for the EGR solenoid. There is suppose to be a little foam filter there but they usually deteriorate and fall apart after a few years. I've only seen them intact on low mileage and garage kept cars.

Yep. A little foam filter.
Don't lose any sleep about it not being there.
