Answer 1

Your friend needs to do the work themselves by contacting the US Department of Homeland Security in the area that they are in. I am sure that they will do something to help them out.  

Answer 2

I'm sure that the letter that your friend got was from his sponsor, probably also accompanied by a printout from SEVIS showing that he is now out of status.

    The government will not kick a person out of the country without an order from an immigration judge, much less send a letter that he has three days to leave. If your friend stays for an additional two weeks and then leaves, nobody will hassle him on the way out and if his status is now "Out of Status", the damage has already been done. To have to suddenly change your tickets in a three day time can be expensive. I'd tell your friend to stay the next two weeks and then leave, this can be explained if he goes for another visa interview in the future.
