Sounds like it's a old wooden lintel that's been fabricated from scraps. It's not unheard of. I'd be looking at going through a wall.

If it's above a door opening, it could just be a filler piece or it could be a lintel. I'd suggest getting someone in to advise before just drilling through it
Yes still applies, straight up, through the room above as well, and even then out of the wall at floor level above to avoid going through wood?Ground floor
Possible stupid question incoming. Can you not use smaller ducting?
A 50mm hole can move as much air as a 100mm hole if the fan is running faster.

Or two 70mm holes, or three 57mm holes and a splitter of some sort. These being the same XSA as 1 100mm hole.
Joists and lintels have completely different loadings, you should not randomly drill holes in lintels
Can you put up some pics?
It could be cladding a steel lintel above the window and door like this

Not always with timber construction as the base plate timber of the above panel may be wider than the lintel
Is it brick/block clad and timber inside?
