Yes that’s the full spoiler that fits on the top of the bootlid.Mine, which is away for spraying in GMN, seems to have the one that is missing on yours, further towards the back end,I.E.,further from the bolt that is still stuck in the spoiler. I might be wrong because as I said, it is away for spraying. When I undid the two domed nut’s, and the two screws on mine, they were only nipped up, not tightend down hard. I had more trouble getting it off the sticky gasket, so be careful when you are tightening them up or you may pull them through again.

Inside the hole should be a captive thread, any bolt that fits will do. It's located under the rubber buffers

They are 30ml long, the same thread as the domed nuts that you have. They have a small Allen key socket in the head, but as above any one will do 30ml long. Again, only tighten them up slightly onto the double sided sticky gasket that fits between the spoiler and bootlid.

Just to clarify sizes, the M8 bolts use a 13mm wrench 99% of the time. M5 uses an 8mm wrench 99% of the time.

Cheers,

Yes. I can see that a larger size has been used. You will have to drill the hole for the new bolt larger, because the original ones are the same size according to mine.
