It'* right behind the throttle body on the upper intake manifold. Generally no, it'* a valve that opens and closes. If it'* stuck you will get a high flow error.

I can't say for certain, I'm not looking at your car. But from what information you have given me and what I can tell, the purge valve solenoid is the problem, stuck open. The part you have listed appears to be the correct part. EVAP codes can be a real pain, but your code seems to point to that part.
