I have always used one of those might-vac pumps to bleed the brakes

you can just need to pump it and fill open vent plug   repeat etc..  I just never had luck doing it the manual way  takes about a min start to finish with the pump   see if anyone you know has one and borrow it

you can but if you didn't open the bleeders or loosen a line you should still be ok.

You can go to the auto parts stores and borrow the brake bleeder tool.
