Default Small clear coolant bottle

Is it ok to remove this? Not 100% sure of it's exact function/neccesity.

If you mean the expansion tube near the battery then you can't remove it without risking air locking the coolant system or running it low.

You can move it, height shouldn't be an issue. All it does is push excess water into it when the pressure cap opens & then allows it to return to the radiator as the pressure drops.
