Not much at all. Unless you do it when the tranny is warm/hot or you've slightly overfilled the transmission ( check the dipstick) you might see 1/6 cup maybe at most .
If you're concerned, drive the passenger side of the vehicle up on a block of wood and that slight angle will likely be enough to compensate for any spillage.

I can't answer your question.....but I would advise you to scribe a new line on the dipstick once you are sure that you have the correct amount of fluid in the case.

No I think you're fine since transmission fluid levels do fluctuate quite a bit depending on temp - the 2+ cups you mentioned won't be an issue. Better to have a tad too much than too little.
