Which engine do you have? Look at your drive side strut tower. You will see a ID plate with your chassis/engine/transmission/color codes stamped into next to your VIN. Take a picture if you are not sure which numbers you will need. Also please take a picture of your engine from a top angle if possible.
This is a sample of a EJ20 pcv system.

Sure. that will work. here is a youtube video based on a U.S.A model however its the same procedures.
There are other areas you can feed seafoam into but its your call.

General consensuses is 1/3 - 1/2 should be used for the vacuum lines. Just spend a few minutes researching seafoam procedures and you will see that the numbers stay consistent across all vehicles
