Is it true that the EECOM referred back to the simulation that they failed before the mission in order to help get Apollo 13 home?

NO!! EECOM is an acronym for "Electrical, Environmental Consumables Manager. In the case of Apollo 13, that would be Sy Liebergot. The EECOM is one of the controllers in Mission Control who feed mission critical information to the Flight Director, who is in charge of the mission. In the case of Apollo 13, the EECOM was critical in the successful return of the crew. He was able to stretch 2 days worth of oxygen and 2 hours worth of battery power into 4 days.
