Problems sound dire, yes that is for power steering fluid. Here's a link that will help you out, that transmission is sealed. even though this a C230 much of it applies to your vehicle LINK

Tough to tell what you rattling is but it sounds like it could be a catalytic convertor that has broken down. The ceramic substrate will rattle inside the convertor.

Don't attempt to top up your ATF without first checking the level - and to do that, you'll need a special MB dipstick which isn't supplied with the car.

The reservoir you pointed out is for the power steering fluid. The cap will have a dipstick attached.
