To add the item to your SelectList just do:

List<SelectListItem> list = new SelectList(db.Requests, "Id", "Audience").ToList();

var listItem = new SelectListItem();
listItem.Text = "All";
listItem.Value = "All";

list.Add(listItem);

ViewBag.AudienceFilter = new SelectList(list);

I'll add the other half of the answer when you clarify what you want.
