Is it normal for the overflow bottle to have what looks to be a vent hole in the neck of the bottle just below where the cap screws on?

Agreed. It's gotta be able to overflow someplace when it gets hot.

Al, is yours missing it?

No it' there. I was just thinking about plugging it and was wondering how it would affect heating/cooling.

You really dont want to have pressure or a vacuum inside that bottle. I'd leave it be.
