Default priming???

I am about to bottle.

I have the priming sugar (4oz).

Do I add it straigt to the beer of in a solution of water?

Do I stir it in?

I of course will be siphoning the beer to a bottling bucket.

Please help a newbie

boil it in a pint of water for 10 minutes, put into bottling bucket before you rack the beer into it.

Boil the priming sugar in a small amount of water for 10 minutes.
Cool the hot sugar solution, then add it to the bottling bucket.
Rack the beer onto the sugar solution, This should mix it up enough, but you could stir very gently with a sanitized spoon for a few seconds.

Bottle.

Good luck

hopefully it is not a big deal that I boiled it for 1-2 min

What do you think

Nah, I think you're OK. The odds of your sugar or tap water having something funky in it is pretty low anyway. I like a 5-10 minute boil myself.
