Looks like a rear offside inner wheel arch and there shouldn't be a hole there...unless a previous owner had some reason for putting the hole there (air-intake scoop to engine bay maybe?)

Has it had a petrol heater fitted at some point? Could have been for exhaust pipe?

Nothing - it should be metal. OG holes are stamped - that looks cut to me.

If you dont want to weld it up then you will need to make or find a suitable bung (large blanking grommet?) since the alternative is to have muck and water enter the engine bay and worse, in dusty conditions, a lot of dust getting in which will also clog your air filter.

The fan will suck any dust raised by the vehicle into the engine compartment. Bad idea. Thats why the air intakes are high up and theres a rubber seal going round the engine lid.
