The charcoal absorbs the gas vapors (activated carbon has lots of surface area, which is why it makes a good filter). In a full evap system, the canister is periodically purged by a solenoid. With an un-purged canister, the charcoal may eventually saturate. I don't know how long this will take, but I wouldn't mind changing out the carbon every year or so (hopefully less) to avoid the complexity of the OEM evap system and keep fumes out of the garage.
    Cap the evap line at the motor like wleehendrick said. Or you can remove all the purge valve and hoses from the motor. There is a thread about simplifying the motor.

    I used SS braided rubber hoses for my fuel and return line. The hoses seemed to smell for the first couple of weeks, but nothing anymore.

    In your second and third picture, it looks like your vent line is going to the motor.

    Also, don't put you vent line anywhere near you exhaust manifold.
