Disconnect the battery for a few seconds, then reconnect.
Done.

Probably replace the cap. They're not expensive.

Yes, I don't know of any other battery on these cars.
Anyway, it won't hurt anything.

If the battery trick doesn't clear, give it some time. The pcm does a periodic vacuum test on the evap system .It may take a drive cycle or two to clear.
