The breach was caused by fluctuations in the solar wind. It was not caused by a weakening or shifting of Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetosphere does little to protect us from solar and cosmic radiation. Our atmosphere does that.
The magnetosphere helps to shield the ionosphere from the solar wind. The solar wind is not composed of high energy particles.

No magnetosphere no atmosphere, so yes it does protect us. it will deflect the solar wind depending on the polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field. otherwise it redirects the particles along the field earths lines at the poles to cause aurora.
I'm a little confused at what your saying here. Or are you talking about uv radiation?
Yeah, the solar wind isn't composed of high energy particles of the likes of cosmic rays, however there are solar cosmic rays (stupid name) from flares. depends on your definition of high energy I guess, solar cosmic rays can be up to 10 billion eV. I'd call that high energy.

That hole is right over the North Pole

heres a nice little method to reach the god(devil) machine who is the core of the earth,
build an array of orbital mirrors which are alligned to reflect to a central point,fire all the worlds lasers at them,and presto you have an extremely powerful burrowing tool which will reach the core within weeks or months.
once youve reached it,ahh the devilmachine is at our mercy!
all the governemnts who thought he and his ai slaves couldnt be fought and we must just survive(pretty funny since there turning earth into a waterworld rendering thier rabbit holes and undeground bases useless,more like sink holes),well there wrong,now we know where he is and how to get to him!

On November 17 and 18, 2008 nine H-Bombs were exploded below the Arctic Ocean, near the North Magnetic Pole, within Canadian waters. The explosions were concentrated in an area about 16 km by 16 km (10 miles by 10 miles), were in the 5 to 10 Megaton range, all were 10 km (6.2 miles) deep. They punched a hole in the crust and will allow petroleum from the bottom of the crust to leak into the Arctic Ocean. This could destroy life in large sections of the area.
