Well if a stud was loose i would guess thats where the leak was. I can't really tell from the pic on the crack so i can't say anything about that or if it will effect anything but it wont hurt to try and replace the head gasket and re set the studs and try it again.

What's the point of that thing anyways? Just to reinforce the very top part of the cylinder walls?

Yup and stop coolant flow pretty much, it does a poor job all around there's much better tech now. Only companies that still sell them really blox and bwr which are both knock off kings to start with.
