Default Bleeding brakes

So I'm an idiot and I pushed my e brake on when I mean to make sure it was off. What happened was the piston fully came out and fluid was leaking around the boot. I was able to push the piston back in and I can't tell if there is still some fluid coming out.... should there be any issues if I pushed the piston back in?

Also to bleed the brakes do I need to bleed every side or do I just need to do the side the I messed up?

Bleeding doesn't look hard and doesn't even seem like I need to really jack the truck up just crawl under ... I'll do it now

Anyone know what size tubing is needed? I just bought a self bleeder kit from autozone and the tubing is too small to fit over the cap
