Checked the screw again and I found the brake fluid splitted out a little bit (front), may be half a drop. Is that normal or I just shouldn't push it all the way to the floor?

Once the screw is tight zero fluid should leak when any amount of pressure is applied to the pedal. If fluid can get out then air can get in.
Are you sure that it was not residual fluid from the bleed?
If it is leaking you can first try to loosen the screw and re-torque, being very careful not to over tighten the screw.
If it still leaks then I suggest that you have a bad screw (easy to replace) or have somehow damaged the threads in the caliper (not likely).
