Fluid level rising in the trans is a sign of the radiator leaking antifreeze into the transmission cooler. A glycol test will verify.

You may get by with a new radiator and a transmission flush, but don't bank on it. Worst case scenario... glycol can contaminate the frictions and water can rust and seize pistons and valves.

I'd swap the rad and flush it, then see how shifts. Monitoring adaptation if possible will provide insight on how much damage is done. Barring that the seat of the pants will let you know.
