No. I guess mousepad is a text editor? You shouldn't open 3.19.5761.sh in a text editor. If it opened in mousepad when you double-clicked on 3.19.5761.sh then something is wrong with the your file associations, so you'll have to follow the instructions and run it from the command line.

I can't find the KoboRoot.tgz or the 3.19.5761_target/subdirectory...where is it located?

You haven't run 3.19.5761.sh yet, you just opened it in something called mousepad.
You might want to consider spending a bit more time getting familiar with your Linux system before you attempt patching though, it is hard to know where to begin explaining things if you don't know how to run a program.
Edit: As an example, here is the detailed sequence of commands I would use, after downloading patch_kobo_3195761.zip and kobo-update-3.19.5761.zip using the web browser, and opening a command-line terminal. The numbers in [brackets] are the corresponding steps in the instructions in this thread. The pathnames might be different on your system, you will probably use a different text editor (mousepad instead of emacs maybe?), and you might do some of the steps from the desktop instead of from the command line. All Linux systems are different, but from the command line they are usually quite similar while from the desktop they can be totally unrecognisable.
Code:
[1] unzip ~/Downloads/patch_kobo_3195761.zip
[4] cd patch_kobo_3195761/
[2] cp ~/Downloads/kobo-update-3.19.5761.zip 3.19.5761_source/
[3] emacs 3.19.5761_source/*.patch
[4] ./3.19.5761.sh
[5] cp 3.19.5761_target/KoboRoot.tgz /media/KOBOeReader/.kobo/
[6] eject /media/KOBOeReader
