Welcome to Club Lexus.

If you use the search features of the forums you will find most questions have already been answered for you on your RX300.

P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction
P0450 Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Malfunction

Check your gas cap. Is it tight? Clear the codes. Do they come back? Try replacing the gas cap. Clear codes. Do they come back?

Do you constantly fill the tank to overfill? If the gas cap is not the problem then you may have a damaged evaporative canister.
