There is a level line about 1/2 way up marked COLD: fill only to the line or it may overflow.
The coolant capacity is supposed to be 4.5 litres, so 2 litres of antifreeze will give a 44% solution, should be fine.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

It will be fine with the distilled water.
Japanese cars as a rule don't originally fill with this type of antifreeze, but European cars do. Something to do with the hardness of the local water, but distilled water is as "soft" as you can get.
As far as I can google, the Japanese use the organic acid technology (OAT) antifreeze, which is pink in the UK.
All 3 japanese cars, and the 3 Japanese 'bikes I've had have been filled with green antifreeze though.
The antifreeze you have is fine for aluminium engines, don't worry about it.
