Default Engine mount- loss in power?

I was driving along earlier and had to stop, then as i went to pull off, the car started to make a really deep gurgling sound, it was really struggling in 1st and 2nd gear, as if it was about to cut out. Strange thing is though, once you get up to sort of 40-50mph cruising in 3rd or 4th gear it drives fine

I pulled over to have a look and when you put your hand by the exhaust tip, its usually a steady flow of gas coming out, now it sort of "chugs", like there's intermittent pressure coming out
I had a look under the bonnet and on idle the engine is shaking like a bitch! The engine mount by the ecu looks as if it's broken (is the orange bit under the ecu and the silver bracket that connects to the engine all one thing? Because mine looks as if the orange bit has separated?)
I'm pretty sure it's not leaking anywhere, but when looking at it from under the car it's shaking like mad where the manifold joins the centre section.

If indeed the engine mount has gone, would this cause the exhaust to play up? Any ideas would be great
