I've got a gallon of 50/50 mix coolant/water...is that enough for the 2.8 water pump change?

Default how many litres per gallon?
my conversion's bad...

I know it takes 6 litres total (if you'll be draining the whole system). Make sure it's G12!

1 US gallon = 3.79 Litres ... No, I think you need one gallon of G12 and one gal of distilled H2O.

Default doubtful. I needed double that for my 1.8T
when was the last time the coolant was changed? If it's less than 50k old, I'd probably catch it in a clean bucket and use that to top off what you need after putting in the new stuff.

You will need a little more than that.
