I'm no battery expert but I don't think you have a problem.

I believe over a period of time the excess water will evaporate and the level will drop to between the lines.

I noticed with my battery the previous owner overfilled it and I haven't had a problem yet. :)

Boiling is normal, however it shouldn't get super hot or swell ... that means you got too high amperage or AC in the DC circuit...
Cool.
