1. What is the OD of that end with the broken off piece. If it is 1.50 inches, you might be able to grab that with some slip joint piece.
2. You could ream out the side socket of the trap adapter with a Rambit or Socket Saver. Alternatively, use a Pipe Parana to undo that bend from the pipe glued into that santee. Glue something else there. A trap adapter at the santee would be best if that lets other things come together. Otherwise, I guess some bend that lets you glue on a trap adapter at a better angle.
That will look better if you remove the duct tape. Even a nylon tie would look better. It still won't look good IMO.

Yes I’m not sure how this passed inspection when built. Is there a split nut that I can use? I see there are some for spas.

No offense but dear God what the hell am I looking at? I think the first thing I would do would involve a sawzall and start over.
That’s how this was built? Starting over sounds good, but where would you even start?
1.5 inch schedule 40 pvc is 1.9 inch od.
Maybe you could glue something on there.
I am thinking I might cut the drain line, and attach an assembly with an AAV for venting. Then cap the vent line.
But to keep the current island vent system, maybe cut the two pipes, where there is some available length of pipe (red marks for example), and use shielded couplers to attach a new island vent assembly. I am not a pro. If I were practiced at getting glued stuff right the first time, I could glue on the new assembly with glued couplers.
