Airlocks only need a small amount of water to work, just enough to allow the carbon dioxide to pass through, but for no air to pass back. A good homemade airlock can be made from a condom or a balloon with a few small pinholes. As they swell, CO2 is released, and as the deflate, they self-seal, preventing air from passing back.

Yes, if you fill it too high, the slugs can simply drink it. Fill it up about 3/4, and you should be okay!

Wine is in the first carboy, I get a burp out of the airlock between 5 - 8 minutes. Is that normal?

That's carbon dioxide from the fermentation process. The yeast is still working, so that's good.
