2. NO, it is NOT normal. Find the fuel leak and fix it before you car goes up in flames.

How many miles on the car ? How long have you had it, was it changed before you bought it ? If you don't know the answer to any of these question then you need to change it, if you would rather test it there's a rubber tit that sticks out of it, if you touch it and it falls off it's bad, if you give it a slight tug and it falls off it's bad, if the **** missing it's bad, if the tit's missing, and you touch it and it feels moist, it's bad.

If you removed the AWS line without plugging it, all of your boost will shoot out the opening in the elbow!

Well, yeah, you have to plug both holes.....kind of pointless just plugging one. Yes, if you are above 95C, the fans would stay on until the water temp hit 92-94C, depending on how the switch is set up.
