You are fine

Air bubbles in the motive fill tube is normal/fine. It just keeps up the fluid level in the brake reservoir.

I found the bleed is slow as well and very difficult to see the fluid change. Those morons that outlawed ATE blue should be shot.

When I bled my brakes, I measure the volume as well. IIRC, its around 200 - 250 per caliper with the fronts being less that the rear and clutch. I found the correct amounts in a post here or on rennlist 996 forum. 1 liter is more than enough to do the job

If you open the bleeed screw too much, you can induce air into the stream and that can be the small bubbles you saw
