As I am a prick and I’ve just topped it up in a fairly loose fashion, should I really drain it fully and start again?
Also, should it be, top up until coolant comes out of EGR thermostat bleed screw, tighten that one, and continue topping up until coolant comes out of the bleed screw by the coolant cap?

Just top it up.

3/ start engine, top up until coolant comes out of bleed screw, tighten bleed screw, top up coolant to correct level at cap
