If only draining the transmission, a bit less than a gallon.
PS system is about one more quart, the leftover from the at gallon will cover any extra.
For coolant, it will take 5 to 6 quarts depending upon the ratio you mix. If premix, two gallons and maybe a bit more dH2O to top off.

Get two more, you need at least one for the PS system.
Jet.com had Aisin TIV for $4.15/qt last I looked. very good price and the right fluid; you cannot beat that price with anything else, really, and that is the best fluid to use I have finally realized. Adding some Lubegard red is also good IMO.
Last time I did my transmission I used a pump via the tube. I got 3.3qts - and that method leaves 1/2qt or so still in the pan. If you drain it, you will get something like 3.7+/- quarts out. When I did a "proper" drain/fill in the past, it was always a little shy of a full gallon.

So for power steering, only 1-2 quarts? 2 to be on the safe side?
I got 2 gallons of the Lexus premix coolant (no water needed). Should I get one more to be on the safe side? Not sure if they sell it by the quart unfortunately.

2 gallons should be fine. The sysem is 9.x IIRC, but there is fluid in the heater core and hoses you won’t be able to drain. If you are a wee bit short, having a $.89 gallon of dH2O from the grocery or ability to run get one, is enough.
For the PS, if you are flushing it, having more than a quart is needed. Jacking and working the wheel unassisted is tedious, so draining and refilling the reservoir twice is 20% of the work for 90% of the benefit and most do it that way. The ps system on these cars is a bit stressed and I think adding something like an ounce or two of Lubegard red or a bottle of their dedicated PS fluid is smart.
