It seem fine but when i drove it it was getting back closer to the hot warning indicator it didnt bubble back in the resevoir.I not sure if i did it proparly i didnt get to flush it like you said as far as the hoses, by me working two jobs it would have to be a weekend thing let me know if i did this right.
Let it cool off, and fill it again with the screw loose, keep doing that over and over until no more air comes from the bleeder each time you top it off.

It is possible for an air lock to keep the heater core from seeing much flow. Focus on the overheat and getting the air purged first, the rest might fall into place.
