While playing J91 "The sooner the better", the German Sniper shot a Portee with a 1 dr. What effect does this have? Is the truck immobilised, the gun crew broken, or something else (I broke the crew)? In my playing it did not matter much as the Portee was a burning wreck soon after.

You have to roll for the crew and the vehicle random selection, and apply results accordingly. Unless you decide to pick one of them per the A14.2 exception:

[EXC: prior to Random Selection, the Sniper may choose one of the following (if present in that Location) as its target: the enemy Sniper counter; a Vulnerable Inherent Crew; or an unarmored vehicle; if any eligible target is concealed, see 14.23]. 14.33 vs UNARMORED VEHICLE: An unarmored vehicle and its PRC cannot be attacked by the same Sniper dr. A Sniper attack vs an unarmored vehicle itself can only immobilize it, and only if the Sniper dr were a "1". There is no further effect vs an already-immobilized unarmored vehicle if it is immobilized again. See also 14.22. 14.22 NON-TARGETS: All units are eligible Sniper targets except AFV with no Vulnerable PRC, units in subterranean [EXC: Caves; G11.8] or Interior-Building Locations, prisoners, or hidden/friendly/Aerial units. Enemy PRC are Vulnerable to Sniper attack if they are CE and/or occupy a Partially Armored AFV or unarmored vehicle. An unarmored vehicle with no PRC (14.33) can be considered an ineligible target at the Option of the Sniper player.

Does the gun crew on the bed of the truck count as a "Vulnerable inherent crew"?

If the portee is the only target in the hex, are breaking the crew or immobilising the truck the only two options for random selection?

Yes, there are no other targets in the hex for random selection, so you can't roll for anything else. Why would you think so?
