I'm not an engineer, but I don't think the rear bolt will be the main pivot point. It is the anchor point.
The front bolt is the pivot point and will apply force to the chassis via the front and rear bolt. The recovery point will maintain the structure of the chassis up until a point. As you can see, if the recovery is applied to the tie down point, the tie down point is below the chassis rail so there is a twisting force applied which clearly caused the destruction in the photo above. The recovery plate ties the lower section to the chassis rail to give it better structure. Of course there is a limit beyond which the chassis will be damaged.
The bolts supplied with the AMTS plate are high tensile bolts attached at high force.
Yes, both front points should be connected via a bridle and the snatch strap or winch cable connected to the bridle.
