Yes, water can dilute it. As long as the line is still there you should be okay. keep monitoring it. GL!

Yes, dilution of urine can cause a lighter line. As can the dye lot - urine tests are qualitative, not quantitative, so the manufacturer is only concerned with making sure that there will be a line if hcg levels are over the stated threshhold, not with the darkness of that line.
