Congrats on the new bike.

Yes that should be able to breath, it lets out pv goop, otherwise it can build up on the pv which is not good.
No, there is no coolant catch tank stock, but the expansion tank is good enough most of the time as you can see how bad the bike is getting by how full the tank is, if it wasnt there the bike would just boil without really any warning. If you plumbed the overflow pipe from the radiator cap, then the expansion tank wouldnt be pressurized and the water wouldnt expand into it because atmosphere would get in the top of the rad cap and into the expansion tank. I think....haha.
I guess you could plumb an overflow catch tank into the system, im not sure where is best though sorry
The stock camps are weird clip on things, it would be fine to replace them with regular hose clamps.
