Default battery questions

My battery did not have enough charge to start the bike last season when I took it out so I had to pop it into gear. Once I rode it around it was charged up and lasted all summer until the end when I didn't ride for like two weeks and then it wouldn't start again. I put it away like that. I just bought one of those battery tenders and hooked it up last night. While I was doing that I noticed there wasn't that much water in the battery. So I have two questions:

1. SHould I fill the battery with water & how much? Full, half way, etc. iTs like a quarter full right now
2. will that tender be able to charge it back to life and how long does it generally take? (I put it on at like 8pm last night - now its 830am and the light is still red like as if its still charging)
