Yes, you can see the coolant flowing. The system is not pressurized and has no pump. The key to a thermosyphon system is to keep the radiator full so that the water can circulate by convection currents (gravity). It's OK if a little comes out the overflow when it gets hot. You should also mix the water and antifreeze before you put it into the radiator.
200 deg seems too hot to me also. After all that time, you could have scale built up in the block or the radiator may have some blockage. A good flush may help it out.
