If it was sealed in a proper container and you should be fine.

Doesn't matter.... methanol reacts to air the same whether it's mixed or not.

Edit:
Although, say 10% reacts by volume. In a 100% mixture that's of course 10% of the total volume. In a 25% mixture, that's only 2.5% of the total volume.

It should be fine.

You can always do a freeze test with a sample mix of methanol and water.
