    If the engine coolant reservoir is a little bit below the full line, when the engine's cold, should I top it off to the "B" line, or do you do that only after draining and refilling?

    AFAIK "B" line is only for draining and refill.

    Only as part of the refilling process after draining. It should end up at FULL after it has traded places with the air in the system.
