Dan didnt tell you it's to keep that nasty *** gas smell out, or is supposed to, it's probbaly clogged.
Will leaving this unplugged cause any vacuum leaks or is it connected in any way like that at all because mine sort of, well, fell off because I was working on the throttle body and well the tubes...snapped in half and are STUCK on it.

I didnt notice any vaccum leaks, But i traced down the lines the larger one goes into a nipple on the block behind your oil fill tube. The other smaller one runs down the firewall under the car. Since im in my underwear I didnt explore to far.

The charcoal canister should not cause vacuum leaks if you take it out. The one thing you will notice though is that gas fumes will be released and stink things up.
Check the Heynes or the Factory Workshop manual in the section that shows the gas tank and all its associated tubes. There's an evap tube that goes from the gas tank to that canister, then another line going from that canister to a connection on the intermediate housing. Part of the "crankcase" vent system.
Where to get another? Well the second gens use them too, so you can always get one from them. They don't "go bad", just rust out. And the second gen ones are plastic!

It is filled with "activated" charcoal

So, the hydrocarbon vapours that come from your fuel tank, and from your crank case are adsorbed by the cannister, then released into the intake manifold, or perhaps sucked back into the tank (not sure how RX system is designed) during regular driving.
