First make sure coolant level is correct and then try changing radiator cap

Also the thermostat is not under the intake pipes its actually located under the car by the oil filter> Just follow the lower radiator hose and you will see the housing!

There is no sure way to know until you take the thermostat out and check it. After removing the thermostat, you can test it by submerging it slowly, with a tool in boiling water. You can then see the thermostat open up. If it does, this is not your overheating cause. If it does not, you need to purchase a new one. Install the new one and you will find out if that was the problem.
