Driving along the other day when all of a sudden the car started squeaking badly. I popped the hood and noticed the upper bolt to the pump was gone. Upon later inspection, it had broken off and the rest of the bolt is stuck inside the bracket. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Remove pump to get at what's left of the bolt. You might have to drill it out, if there is nothing to grab and even heli-coil the bolt hole.
