Will any "McParts" brand coolant do for now until I can get the proper stuff in?

I would simply add water, there isn't any need for adding antifreeze provided you plan on flushing sometime soon. a 20% mixture will have some anti-corrosion protection left (not like 45% but still ok for a few weeks).
As for the drain plug, I saw one that wouldn't come out even with a 5 ft breaker bar extension, the engine was lifting off the mounts with the force and it was simply stuck! One risks a cracked block if heat is applied unevenly (ie. this is delicate process!)
Just be aware that it might be really hard to get an old drain plug out!
