The outsides flat so must be a nook and the projecting brick could just be nonstrucural. Tempted to drill out a brick and shine a torch in when I get in.
Perhaps it’s worth just having the cooker not pushed all the way back into the recess - solve the potential lower lintel issue, and messing with the brickwork.

Oh. I was toddler wrangling and up since 5.30, I read that as just a shadow.
The dog-leg in the wall is odd, if there’s nothing below, it’s not a flue, could be a storage nook as Hugo7 says. It may be a pier in the wall, what’s the outside look like?
If it’s an exterior wall definitely take ducting out as low as practical (mine is a party wall - but fortunately only 2 stories) you’ll be able to use a conventional extractor hood/motor/fan, I had to use a 150mm in-line industrial fan.
