If I attach a Grass Energy to Skiploom with the "Solar Evolution" Ability but there are already 4 Jumpluff either in play or in the discard pile, can I still search my deck for that Pokemon and fail?

You cannot use Solar Evolution to search your deck since it is public knowledge that you won't find any Jumpluff if all four copies of the card are in known areas.

While the opponent's Galarian Cursola V's "Gnawing Aura" Ability is working, if you attach an energy from your hand to your Skiploom with the "Solar Evolution" Ability, do you place the 3 damage counters onto it before or after evolving to Jumpluff?

The owner of Skiploom can choose the order of the effects. They can choose to place the damage counters from Gnawing Aura before evolving; however, if they choose to use Solar Evolution first the effect of Gnawing Aura is ignored because Jumpluff is not the same Pokemon the energy was attached to.
