No, you do not have to buy the entire throttle body. You can buy only the throttle position sensor. Most of the big chain stores such as Kragens, Autozone etc. should have it.

Where is the throttle position sensor located on a 91 Nissan 240sx?
On the right side of the throttle body (where the intake piping meets the engine) you will have to disconnect the hose clamps that hold the plastic piping to the throttle body to get a clear view. I would also suggest removing the throttle body as a whole to replace the throttle position sensor its held on by 4 hex screws. The sensor plugs into the engine harness right ubove the intake piping; its a fat grey clip with 3 wires attached to it

If it is similar to the 2002, and I believe they are, It is permanently attached to the throttle body. To replace the sensor, you have to replace the whole throttle body.
What damage can happen if you drive with a bad throttle position sensor?
No its dangerous. the computer has no idea what the throttle (gas pedal) position is. I will give you some tips, they are cheap and on the outside of the throttle body however they have security screws which are almost always destroyed when removing. Your best bet is to get a throttle body with sensor attached from a wrcking yard and swapping out the whole thing OR having dealer do it screw almost always strip out when removing old tps then it gets fun. It cannot be on there loose.

How to replace throttle position body in Toyota solara 2004?
There's good news and there's bad news depending on what you're really asking. The bad news, if you're asking how to replace the throttle position "sensor" you can't. The sensor is part of the throttle body assembly and the whole thing has to be replaced if the sensor is faulty. The good news, throttle body replacement is very easy. 1. Remove negative cable from battery. (note your radio settings if needed because the radio will lose memory settings) 2. Remove air intake duct from thottle body 3. Label than disconnect any vacuum/coolant lines attached to the throtte body. If there are coolant lines, plug hem to prevent losing coolant. 4. Disconnect electrical onnector from the Throttoe Position Sensor 5. Remove bolts/nuts holding throttle body to engine 6. Pull throttle body and gasket away from intake manifold You're done. Replacement is exactly the opposite. Once you've reconnected the battery you'll have to reset the radio settings and your moonroof/window settings if equipped. Your owner's manual will tell you how to do those things. Cheers
