I cant see anywhere it should be attached to.

It's the drain from the AC, totally normal to be dripping clean water

Re: Whats this pipe?
I've once seen a case of where that was broken - you have to be cautious with it if you ever have reason to remove the heater box complete - and the effect was a persistent leak of water into the passenger compartment ending up under the passenger footwell carpet...
Same symptom as a failed scuttle seal...
I fixed it by sleeving it with a tight-fitting length of plastic pipe covered in silicone RTV sealant...

Exactly how I fixed the rocker cover oil hose that snapped in half when I touched it. I used the loctite from the sump repair though as i know its oil proof.

I've fixed hydraulic pipes in a similar way except the 'adhesive' has been braze in those cases

No need for the quotes around adhesive Jim. Brazing is a gluing process similar in action to the hot melt glue gun or solder.
Now bronze-welding (what people frequently misidentify as brazing) is different as it penetrates the surface of the metal and mixes up the molecular structure a bit.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
