I designed iodine thrusters for a different company. Your description of how you store/flow the iodine is correct and it's no more complicated than that. It's actually an easy propellant to work with due to its easily controlled vapor pressure (through heat) - the main issue with designing these systems is dealing with how outrageously corrosive iodine is. It. Eats. Everything.
You can technically liquefy/boil iodine (I've done it a few times). It happens around 110C IIRC.
