Right side of radiator, facing engine. Did you check level by removing radiator cap? Using the dipstick in the overflow container can give erroneous results at times.

Not hard. You can get one at almost any autoparts store. You only need a pair of pliers to remove the retaining spring (don't lose it), and some more coolant to replace what you need to drain out. Good time for a full cooling system flush and service while you are changing the sensor.
