I was wandering what does sucking seafoam thru the brake booster line do? Will it go into my oil if I do? I read something about sucking half the bottle thru the brake booster line and dumping the rest in the tank. Just what exactly does this do?

Seafoam was made for a gas stabilizer.
But like WD-40 they claim it does a lot of other things and used for a lot of other things.
Some good and some not so good.
As said some use it for cleaning carbon.
When installing/pour in intake pour it threw the TBI so it gets to all cylinders.
I would only use it to clean carbon if needed.
If not broke do not try to fix it.
Are you having any problems with the engine?

It actually works very well when used to clean the TB/intake/valves like you plan on doing, but like MT2500 said, don't use it for anything else. Using it in fuel doesn't hurt anything, but it cleans about as much as filling up with ethanol does. Never use it in the oil, it's mostly alcohol, not a good mix.
