No, the hose and box is part of the system that removes the fuel vapors from the gas tank. When you fill up or the vehicle sets the fuel vapors are collected in the charcoal inside the box. Then at certain times the PCM will energize the purge solenoid and route the vapor into the intake system to be burnt. If the hose is leaking or has gotten bad from fuel vapor it isn't hard to replace, you just need a section of fuel safe hose to connect the two pieces just like the one that is there. Unless the connection is broken off or it is leaking fuel vapors it's still okay. It wouldn't cause anything brake related though.
For that see if you can shoot a video and upload it with a new question about the brakes.
