Line from compressor to condensor is discharge line. Line from evaporator to compressor is suction. Both lines have lengths of aluminum tubing.
If compressor is whining after the system leaked down due to tubing defect, then compressor idler bearing is worn out. Apparently you have bought a replacement compressor so bearing fault doesn't matter.
I would be tempted to leave evaporator and expansion valve alone, but if warranty requires this perhaps it's worth the extra effort. Unlikely to yield any benefits and could result in problems. Replace all orings and take your time.
Get a Honda shop manual!
good luck

Yea, replacing the expansion valve does seem like it may create another problem.
