A solenoid just has a coil of wire that acts as a electromagnet. It doesn't matter which wire you use for hot or ground. It will work either way.

It doesn't matter. You just need 12v to create the magnetic field and trip the solenoid. One side to ground, the other to the switch and you are good to go.
