Like others have said, one of these is probably more along the line of what you want.
And no, you generally should not move the drain to one of the higher openings. Its at the bottom because that's where you want your condensate draining from. Ideally, you would install one of these in the higher openings to shut the system down if your drain clogs and water rises to that level.
They used a very similar trap as the one you linked. In the 16 years I've been here, I've only had one clog in the trap, everything else was much farther down the drain line after it enters the walls/floor. I'd love to go and replace it with a slightly larger diameter pipe, but to do that I'd need to cut up my downstairs neighbor's ceilings, and I'm just not wanting to do that.

While yeah, I'd be upset if the trap fell out and poured water everywhere, the old one was unglued from June '03 (when I bought, probably earlier) to Nov '18 when the system was replaced. Never had an issue with it coming undone.

I'll probably end up picking up some unions and calling it a day

Edit: Pretty sure this is the trap I've got. I'd upload a pic of my setup but can't hit image hosting from work :/
