The ticking noise you're hearing coming from "that silver thing" are the injectors clicking... thats normal.
You MAF isn't going to look like the picture above. You MAF sensor will be mounted inside the throttle body. It is held in by 3 screws I think. Your MAF is the thing circled in red:
It not going above 50 and hardly reving is the car going into "limp mode"... its less serious then you think, though I don't think I would be driving it at all until I got this fixed. When you had the car scanned at AutoZone... did they tell you what trouble codes were being thrown? All trouble codes are given a number like: P0420. If you had that it might help narrow down what is causing it to go lean.
You put 20,000 miles on your in 9 months?! Wow.

The MAF is not inside the TB. It's between the TB and
the air cleaner, and it's held in by hose clamps. I don't
have any pictures handy on this computer but my
earlier description ought to get you there. Black plastic
intake manifold, aluminum cast TB, plastic accordion
bellows, then the aluminum/plastic/aluminum "Oreo"
MAF with the 3-wire electrical connector.

I missed the part about it being a V-6.

Oh, I know about the miles, but when that was the only source of transportation for awhile those things build up.
Yes, its a V-6, well last night we went back to Pep Boys to exchange the sensor and they wer so confused. According to the flow chart, #1 and #3 o2 sensors were out. Well they were going to try and give us a beofre and an after, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo, we needed two of the same. What frickin idiots. So last night didnt get a chance to fix it, because we were driving to the shop and were stopped behind a car and we heard a car behind us trying to stop and what do you know, SMACK!!!!! THey hit the back end of the camaro, BASTARDS!!!!!
Got out to take a look and of course there wasnt enough damage to claim injuries and so on, so hubby called the cops and these three women backed up so we couldnt see their plates and left!!!! Cops showed quick but were unable to find them. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, could thi sget any worse.

See the thing that gets me, is that we replaced one of the o2 sensors, because they gave us the wrong one for the other side. So right now it has a new one in #1 and an old one in #3.
The thing that gets me though is if we just let the car work its way to a higher speed it will, it just takes a minute but if we try to press the pedal, it doesnt go anywhere, we have to let it work up to it?

Try reseting the PCM. Put the key in the "on" position and pull the PCM BAT and PCM IGN fuses from the fuse box under the hood on the driver side. Let it sit like that for about 5-10 minutes and turn the car off THEN replace the fuses. Then start the car up and drive it around the block... if it still goes into "limp mode" (where it barely revs and wont go above 50) then it could be a clogged cat or transmission problems of some sort, but if it runs right, even just for five minutes, then its some sensor.
Try and get the trouble codes when they scan your car. Stop going to Pep Boys!

Did you get the problem code? Just saying "lean" and "vacuum" is very vaugh. There are a few codes that deal with being lean.
DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
DTC P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2
DTC P1135 HO2S Lean Mean Bank 1 Sensor 1
DTC P1137 HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 2 Lean System or Low Voltage
DTC P1143 HO2S Bank 1 Sensor 3 Lean System or Low Voltage
DTC P1155 HO2S Lean Mean Bank 2 Sensor 1
DTC P1157 HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 2 Lean System or Low Voltage
DTC P1163 HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 3 Lean System or Low Voltage
DTC P1171 Fuel System Lean During Acceleration
Might seem like a weird question... but have you washed or gotten water inside the engine bay recently?
