Yeah, the first one is the EVAP purge valve.
The second one, I can't tell for sure either. Looks like the PCV fitting in the drivers side valve cover? Mine's busted off, and looks kinda like that.

Yes
YEs you can delete EVAP and the associated codes from the PCM. From my understanding, the EVAP solenoid works even if it isn't plugged into the PCM. When the fuel tank reaches a certain pressure, it purges the excess fumes. There was a thread somewhere on here discussing this.

The PCV system is to draw oil mist out of the engine, and help with ring seal a little bit, I guess.
I am going to add a catch can on mine once I get all my turbo pipes ran. With a regular engine, there are places that sell a little filter that can go there, or I suppose you could drill it, and tap it, and thread in a hose barb with a nipple the same size as that stock piece.
