I accidently put windsheild washer fluid in the coolant, would I be able to drive it to a station to flush it out, or does it need to be flushed before running the engine again

Should pose no problem you could leave it in system. How much was put in? If not enough to dilute antifreeze your O.K.

Not a major problem, but I'm not sure what kind of chemical reaction you'll get over time. (Dissimilar metals are sensitive)

I'd have it replaced if I were you.
