Absoulutly not. If you have not started the engine, drain all the oil out and let it sit for at least an hour with the drain plug removed. Refill with oil and you will be ok. If you started the engine then also change the filter.

I would also take it to a service shop asap. This all depends on how much coolant you added to the oil and the size and type of engine.

No , this coolant is coming from your heater core and you are losing engine coolant ; you need to have this repaired because the engine will overheat and suffer damage that will be more expensive than the repair of the heater core .
Is it safe to drive your car if you accidentally put window washer in the coolant reservoir?
I wouldn't drive the car . What I would do is use a cheap plastic turkey baster bought from Wal*Mart or another store and use that to suck out the window washer fluid from the engine coolant reservoir ( I don't know if it mixes or floats on top , if it mixes I would remove all the contents of the engine coolant reservoir and then replace it with a 50 / 50 mix of the correct type of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician , just what I would do )

The driver is responsible for the condition of the car and the safety of passengers. It it is not safe to drive, don't.
