The hose coming off is a problem some have experienced recently. It seems as if the thing loosens -- or maybe stiffens -- and gravity takes over when the pedal goes all the way down. Others have resorted to a fastener of some sort. I doubt that hose will be included in a standard rebuild kit unless you elected to go super deluxe no hold bars replace everything.
Looks like you have the later style lid with the slightly raised channel Brian mentions which should be used with the later style BTV's. Many have had the perfectly flat earlier style lid which does block off the port if the later gasket is used with the BTVs having the port at the top.

Should be a gasket, but I don't recall it being gooey. Perhaps whoever was into this one coated the original gasket material with some of the tarry aviation gasket sealer for reuse. Rather than waste so much RTV, the shape is simple enough to cut a new gasket, but I'm not sure what material to recommend.
IIRC, there is a gasket about an inch wide around the perimeter of the toe board for the dust/water seal to floor. I believe the stuff in the middle over the BTV should have been the roughly 1/8" thick asphalt/felt sound deadening material Packard was so fond of using.
