I'm looking for the name of the plastic piece that is labeled #2 in the attached picture.
The condensate goes into the plastic box and then overflows into a tube that goes to the sump.
I'm having the hardest time finding the name of the piece.

To me your parts names are:
condensate pump
condensate drain assembly
discharge hose for condensate pump
The drain assembly is different than the ones I have used and in some cases I don’t use OEM parts because of the cost when a standard off the shelf part can be made or purchased for much less.
Generally, yes, R and C are the 24 volt and common terminals of the transformer.
However, you have to make sure you do not draw more current than the transformer can handle. These things are usually rated in volt-amps. If your furnace, air handler and air conditioning compressor are marked with their ratings, you can tell how much power you can spare. Don't exceed 80% of the rated capacity of your transformer.
As an alternative, you can mount the transformer that came with your air cleaner in/on your air handler. Locate the existing transformer and you can wire the new one in to the same 120 volt lines.
