I recently changed the ATF in our 2003 Odyssey myself and added the new fluid through the dipstick tube. We've driven at least 2000 miles since changing, and everything is fine. I found a flexible plastic tube that would fit over the top of the tube, after taking out the dipstick. I was then able to place a small funnel in the other end of the plastic tube to add fluid.
you have to put it in the dipstick hole.
Yes, it has a filter but it never needs changing until the transmission is rebuilt. It is a lifetime filter.
There should be a dipstick like the one for the oil. Just check level when running.

We had exactly the same problem with our Odyssey. It was related to the transmission. Honda had a recall on the transmission and ended up providing a new transmission (at our installation cost). It seemed acceptable, since the van had 85K miles on it.
