That's the one. It prevents vapours from the float bowl from going into the atmosphere and stores them to be burned later.

You also appear to be missing the canister control valve. If you had it, you'd know it. . .

It can be blocked off. With that open element air cleaner you've got, emissions apparently isn't a concern for you. There's a bowl vent going underneath the air cleaner to provide the needed atmospheric pressure in the fuel bowl.

No, it just vents the vapors to the vapor canister when the engine isn't running. The vapors are purged from the canister when the engine is running via the line tee'd to the PCV line.

No, it's not normal. It means your fuel bowl is overfilling.
