I doubt anything is damaged. It is not hard to mount a wheel. If you have the service manual, follow it. You aren't the first person to have the spacers wrong on a bike.
As far as the brakes, If you pulled the lever with the caliper off, you need to push the piston(s) back before installing the caliper. Really no different from a car. Unless you pushed the piston all the way out and thus lost fluid, you shouldn't need to bleed the brakes, but you can do it anyway.
My bike does not have ABS and bleeding is easy and you can do it just like you said in the last sentence of your post. Do not let the reservoir run low. There is a HOW-TO on this IIRC.
