what part of MH17 is this?

This part of MH17 was photographed at February 23 in a field northwest of the main crash site.

what part of the Boeing 777 is this? Where is it located?

Part has been identified as part of the Rolls Royce engine nacelle. Most likely the left engine.
shame this crucial part of evidence is still not recovered from the crash site. Photo was taken at Feb 23 2015!
Dutch Safety Board says it was too dangerous to recover debris in the north-westerly part of crash site due to fighting between Kiev and separatists.
Now separatists control area it is safe to enter (for photographer at least)

that photo bottom left of the three - is that lighting from compressor heat or sunlight from the rear of the engine?

Photo is here Photos: Boeing 777-212/ER Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net

The sun just illuminating the inside of the engine giving it a nice look! On a flight from Amsterdam to Singapore (SQ323).
