If they're the same type of antifreeze, they should be compatible. You just don't want to mix different types of antifreeze (e.g., universal green, Dex-Cool orange, red, etc.).
The primary components of most automotive antifreeze are ethylene glycol and water. Good brands will also have some anti-corrosion additives. Nearly all brands will also add some dye to give color to the antifreeze. Pure water and ethylene glycol are both clear and colorless in the color range visible to the human eye.
You can use any permanent antifreeze( prestone, peak, store brands) mixed at 50/50 with water. 15 years ago it was a concern because not all antifreeze formulations were compatible with aluminum engine parts but now all are.

Yes, methanol can be mixed with antifreeze. Methanol is sometimes added to antifreeze solutions to decrease the freezing point and improve the efficiency of the antifreeze. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and safety guidelines when mixing methanol with antifreeze.
Not all modern cars have Antifreeze. The vast majority of them do though.
If you mean the water in your radiator, don't drive your vehicle until it thaws or your engine will overheat because no coolant will be flowing through it. You should keep 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water in your car radiator at all times.
