See if the dealer is willing to buy it back as it is.
The other option is to see if some indie shop can get you an engine from a junk yard and install it.

2 - No.

If the A4 is just Premium, it's a bare-bone config, no LED DRLs, no sport package most likely. As much as I love manuals, I wouldn't buy that. Wouldn't buy the A5 for the automatic either.
