Don't try the vacuum cleaner...stupid answer.... most bottle caps are small enough to pas through the trap, if the water is draining , you can assume that it has, if not call a plumber

If it went in the pipe then it should go down all the way. I wouldn't worry unless the line is plugged. Usually if it gets past the trap, then it should go all the way. If it's in the trap and plugging it then you'll have to take the trap out and get it out.
It's pretty self explanatory, take the nuts off and loosen the pipe, drop the "S" try and empty it into a pail, take everything out that isn't suppose to be in there, and put it all back. Snug up all the lines again and that's it. Put something over the drain hole next time around.

go to a hardware store, there is a type of "acid" that you can use in plumbing. That stuff will dissolve the cap for sure.
