Whether or not it does anything I'm not sure yet, but will hopefully find out

No point. The water is nowhere near hot enough.

Would antifreeze be better to stop corrosion etc

A cupful or two of antifreeze will do no harm.

Probably a good idea during winter just in case, don't want it freezing and causing leaks.
