It sounds like the fermentation is well on its way. Everything you're seeing is completely normal, and in fact is the ideal situation. Sometimes the yeast has trouble getting off to a good start but it appears that you do not have this problem.
Hydration is a good idea, but not completely necessary. Yes, it looks like the yeast was so hungry, it got started right away, which is a very good thing. It won't be long until you've got your first finished beer! Hope it turns out to your liking.
