Sorry - you need to take the tank off for the coolant change. The radiator cap is under there - its the only way to fill it.
I used DOT 4 fluid - I think the brand was prestone. Lots of people recommend Valvoline Synpower - I think I'll try that next time.
Here are some tips on the brake fluid change:
