Hard to say. Would wait it out and watch. To move or try and force it out may cause problems distress. Don’t think it'll be spit up either. Maybe viktor can help a bit more.

Yes. Both fish likely will get injured.

Just leave it imo... It's what gulpers do... In the wild I wouldn't doubt that happens often and from what I've heard they can have a fish half way out of their mouth... Digest one half then eat the rest
