The center bolt acts as a hanger to allow you to manage the exhaust manifold, exhaust gasket, and the bolts without dropping everything. From the description of your leak, sounds like the center bolt was tightened and pulled the manifold towards the top, allowing the gasket to shift. Broken center bolt sounds like P.O. over compensated for the leak by continuing to tighten the bolt and eventually snapping it.
Use anti-size on the bolts. You can attempt to remove the broken bolt, but I might not worry too much about it.
Use the RemFlex gasket from JmK and you will be happy and quiet.
