The IR temp should reflect the thermostat temp(180-190*), if the thermo is stuck it would be much hotter,
at the radiator, the outlet should be much cooler than inlet and mostly even across the tubes..

i use 50/50. I wouldnt dare to use water. sounds like it would cause too much damage compared to how much coolant costs -
You need to get an oil sample analyzed ASAP, any coolant in the oil will show.
also get the coolant tested for .exhaust gasses..
Coolant in the oil will destroy the bearings..

225 ppm thats a lot. Should should drop the pan snd pressure test where leak is coming from
