Probably no damage, especially if you only filled the reservoir with it and not the whole cooling system. Use a turkey baster and suck up what's in the reservoir, dispose of properly. Then refill with coolant. I'm really not sure if the washer fluid will screw with the various rust inhibitors or lubricants key to the coolant. If you're really concerned, just flush the coolant and refill the system.

Accidentally put coolant in the window washer container?

Well, better to have done that as opposed to window washer fluid in the radiator. You need to drain the window washer bottle of this erroneous fluid. If enough of it gets on the car paint (as in overspray when squirting it on the windows) it could harm the finish and shine eventually. Also, coolant will not do nearly the nice cleaning job that normal window washer fluids do.

Why is anti-freeze added to car windscreen wash?

You do not want your windshield washer fluid to become solid in temperatures below freezing, because this could damage your washers and prevent them from working. You should not, however, use engine coolant/antifreeze in your washer fluid, because it is toxic and can damage your paint. Commercial washer fluids contain a weaker antifreeze that is much less toxic and unlikely to damage your paint.
