Replace it
Ans 2 - BEFORE you drive it anywhere !
Check brake caliper assembly for outward swing when reversing. Could be missing caliper mounting bolt allowing caliper to shift out and hit inside of wheel assembly when reversing.
Take the caliper to a machine shop and have the broken bolt removed or just replace the caliper. If you do not understand the bolt sizing, you are not equipped to retap the caliper.

the caliper bolt should be a 13mm and the bracket or "bridge" bolt should be an 18mm or a 21mm
The Rear Caliper Bottom Bolt head size is 12 mm. The Top bolt is enclosed only making it a slide bolt therefore you cant and really have no need to remove it. So the only bolt you should remove is the bottom 12mm head bolt. Then there will be a 14mm bolt that will hold the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket to the Caliper. Loosen this bolt and remove the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket from the Caliper. Then pry the bottom of the caliper up off the disc. This will allow you to swing the caliper up then push the caliper back to slide the caliper off the enclosed bolt slide at the top of the caliper. This will allow access to the inside and outside pads to remove them and allow you to press and rotate the Piston (Push and Twist-in Pistons) back into the Caliper with the right Brake Caliper Compression tool. The rear two Caliper Bracket bolt head sizes are 18mm. You must remove the Caliper bracket in order to remove the rear brake disc. The Front Brake Caliper Bolt is a 3/8" Allen head bolt. There will be two bolts holding the front calipers to the Spindle. The Front calipers are standard push-in Pistons.
A 3/8" Allen wrench will remove that bolt on the front caliper.
It takes a 3/8" allen wrench to r & r that caliper bolt.

One possibility is a brake caliper that has a broken or missing bolt. Or something has broken inside the front axle.
If memory serves, 18mm. That would be the bracket bolt. The caliper bolt has a 9mm thread.
Just remove the bolt that you can get to. You then rotate the caliper on the other bolt until it will clear the disc. You then just slide the caliper off of the other bolt.
