That plug in the bottom is there to allow condensation a way to exit. Gasoline will also exit through this hole if the carb floods. The brass thing you saw is a filter to prevent dirt and dust from getting in. There is supposed to be a small disk, sort of like a freeze plug, to hold the brass filter in. The disk is sort of an expansion fit deal, so it is possible that it could have just fallen out although that is not likely unless someone did not install it properly. The beginning of the fuel leakage problem is most likely just a small speck of rust that somehow found its way to the needle valve in the carb, and prevented the needle from fully stopping the flow of fuel. If you could somehow get that speck of rust out of there, your problems would be over, but there really is no good way to do that without disassembly of the carb. It is highly likely that once the carb is opened up, a few more problems will be revealed, so it might be best to do a total rebuild on it, or swap it out for a rebuilt unit. If you are not comfortable attempting it yourself, there are folks who can do it for you.
Do it right the first time and you will not have to worry about it again for a very long time.
