Unhappy Expansion Tank

OK, I admit it - I know nothing about engines and cars!!

I would have thought fitting an expansion tank would be simple..... but google is not my friend any more...

Do I need an expansion tank or a header tank? sealed and pressurised or not?

I've found so many contradictory articles I'm lost...

This is my "plumbing" at the moment - radiator connected to "engine" and the overflow linked effectively in the circuit. I have no heater to complicate issues...

Where should my expansion tank go? I think in the loop between the "overflows". But expansion tanks seem to have overflows on them that would idicate the system is no longer "pressurised" and sealed - or have I lost the plot ?

Last question - does it matter where it goes vertically in relation to the rest of the system?
