Yes, distilled water is what you want. Tap water frequently contains minerals that may harm the cells.
Was your battery low on water before you charged it or after? If after, your charge rate must be too high and can harm the plates. If it was low before charging you should have added water before charging. Adding water after charging will lower the battery charge.

If it turns over OK and starts it will charge up if your charging system is working properly.
A small amount of water added after charging shouldn't make big difference unless your using a hydrometer to check charge level while looking at your charging system performance or battery condition. Water added after charging dilutes the acid and will cause a low reading.
