I want to be sure I changed the right ignition coil and should I get the injectors cleaned too, so the idle goes back to normal

Yes, a PO301 is indicating a misfire in cylinder 1. You are correct. As far as the idle, cleaning the injectors COULD help, but there are a few things that could cause it. Check to make sure there are no vacuum leaks. Also, make sure the injector itself is working properly. I say that because I don't know how bad the misfire is.
