Yes that is the relief valve. It should be a 4 psi valve. The original radiator cap did not have a pressure relief valve.

The "stopcock" is your fill indicator. You should stop filling when coolant comes out there. You probably have your coolant level high. Set it at this level and try again. That may cure the puking.
