I have a new air intake hose for the cracked hose that goes to the throttle body on order from Toyota.
I sealed the crack as good as I can with some sealant, can I drive it until the part comes or do I need to park it?

Which hose? The hose to the PCV or a coolant hose, either way I wouldnt use any sealant, I am assuming that you used RTV sealant and that shit seized my turbo when I tried using it for a gasket maker.:3d_frown: I definitely learned from that mistake!

Its the big air intake hose from the air cleaner the one that hooks up to the throttle body.
I used factory ribbon seal. Its a soft sticky rubber ribbon that they use inside the doors with plastic.

My question is, what problem will there be with driving with a leak in the air intake other than dust and what else gets sucked through the crack?

Will this cause it to run lean or will the O2 take care of that?
