Changed Transmission Fluid
Dropped the pan and changed the filter, gasket, and fluid. Sorry, don't have any pictures. Fluid in pan was nice and red, just a tad bit of stuff by the magnet (my pop in law says that often times a rebuilt tranny will have some "break in metal" at the bottom), hoping that's all that was.
Drove it home, no leaks, shifts good. Hopefully I won't be back here in a week saying otherwise!!

Either you or HeyYou suggested a drain plug when I first posted about my tranny concerns, funds were tight this morning so I opted not to install it this go round.
And also, I completely forgot to add in the original post that the bolts (from the corner front to the corner back) on the drivers side were loose, to the point were I could take them out with a socket on an extension. All of the rest where fairly tight.
I also surprised myself when I got the pan and the gasket back on on the first attempt!
Victory shall me mine!
