This is a melomel, not a pyment. How many oz. or grams should I use per litre?

This is to be added in secondary.

I did a 5 litre batch.

I do not want crazy flavour, just nice. Should I add peels?

A pyment is just a melomel but specifically grapes used.

If you fermented the grape, it's reasonably easy as you'd de-stem and crush the grape and then add the honey, but using grape to add sweetness (fresh, unfermented grape flavour might be hard to do) is gonna be hard to call.

Skins generally add tannins, colour and complexity.

Don't forget also, grapes high water content will likely dilute more too.

I'd have thought the better taste might be imparted if you could get grape that's been left on the vine, to increase sugars but reduce water, or if that's not possible, select an appropriate grape concentrate and add that in small increments to get your desired sweetness/flavour.
