I know it's only a $30 part, and just because I'm a cheap bastard.
My car is stock for the most part with a straight pipe.

the string being so you can take it out and watch it close again. Should be around 180*F, and to be honest i have no idea where water boils in F.
Know your cheap as are we all but i will say, if in doubt you should just change it because its an integral part of our cars cooling system

easy way to tell is when your car doesn't want to warm up quickly anymore, AND you no longer get any good heat inside the car. It fails to the OPEN position so you also get poor gas mileage....
