2 bottles is correct, however if you have to ask, I would recommend 3.

First time around you tend to waste a bit.

Depends.

Since you're opening the system, you'll want at least 1.5L of fluid. If you're quick with changing lines, and don't run into any problems with bleeding, you should be fine.
I'd suggest having an extra .5L around just in case you have issues.

Some bottles are .5L, some are 1L, so number of bottles isn't apples to apples.
