Heat rises so the hot water would flow that way on its own (like the thermosiphon system in the tractors without t-stats). With a water pump to help things along, it flows in that same direction. Rises as it heats going through the motor. Falls as it cools passing through the radiator. So, yes, it flows out of the top of the motor.
You're in the right place for the t-stat. As I kinda suspected in last night's exchange, it sounds like the clip that holds it in place is missing.

The thermostat should indicate the hot (engine) side on its flange.
