Filament stuck, extruder partially clogged

Hello,

I recently bought a Prusa i3 secondhand. I cleaned the bed, set the temperatures for abs and sent my first print over (1x1x1cm cube). I noticed that the filament would extrude but then curl back onto the extruder instead of the bed. After troubleshooting I tried removing the filament from the printer and putting it back in, it snapped. A part of filament is now stuck somewhere between the extruder and the entrance.

What should I do?

Update 2: removed hotend, and put it back. Set temp to 240, it started extruding at 110?Nozzle started smoking. Thermomiter wasn't properly in (reading 60 when I touched it, it was way hotter), turned on emergency fan and pushed thermometer back in, temp reading was 892C. Did emergency stop and cooling down with fan. Any chance printer is damaged.
