A drill bit will not get your broken tap out. You will have to use a chisel or a center punch to try and break it up into pieces and pick them out or push them through the hole. A bit will just break making your problem worse..
ANS 2 - I've done this many times with right angle pliers. I have 3 sizes of needle -nose pliers that turn a right angle about 1/2 -1 inch from the point. These are available in real tool stores. Take the appropriate size plier and carefully fit the points around the tap and gently rotate anti-clockwise while pulling up gently too.

Could the reversable drill bit extract a broken bolt?
Not unless it was reasonably loose. Usually when faced with this, I drill into the bolt with a very hard drill bit a tiny bit thinner than the bolt - ie if it's a 3/8 bolt, I drill in first with a 1/8 drill to create a guide hole, then after with a 5/16 drill to cut right through, yet not harm the threads. You have to be very careful to stick to an exactly straight course. After the hole is cleared, I pull the threads left from the bolt out as far as I can, then use a 'clearance' tap of bolt size to re-tap the hole.

How do you fix a broken valve cover bolt on a Chevy 1500 with a 5.3?
Remove the broken bolt and replace it with a new one. There are several ways to remove that broken bolt. You can remove the valve cover and weld a nut to what is left of the bolt, wait for it to cool off then unthread the broken bolt. You can also drill out the center of the broken bolt and use an easy-out. You can also drill into the broken bolt with a left handed drill bit, sometimes the drill bit will catch and spin out the broken piece. I would go with the first suggestion.
