What is the thing I have circled in red? I have a hiss coming from it or it's general area. What could in be?

Default fuel pressure regulator

check the little cav hose from it to the intake manifold. That's a common leak. I relaced mine with a higher quality hose. A 5/32" vac line from autozone.

Default Thanks!

What kind of problems could that cause, if any? Bad gas mileage?

Default yes it will play havoc with your fuel mix

if it's leaking, it will cause you to run lean and that is BAD so check it and take care of that hose right away if a hose leak is indeed your problem. Note that tha cloth covered hose Audi uses makes finding tears in the hose difficult. So examine it thoroughly.
