Most Chlorine will gas off over time... To be safe I would still use a dechlorniator. But to answer your question Yes!

Ya. So long as the lid is off, you'll be set after a day or two. Tap water chlorine leeches out of a 55g drum in about 4 days here, so I'd imagine with a 2L bottle it be much faster.

I suggest Prime for a dechlorniator.

The dechlor will be much easier and quicker but yes your idea will work. It will all depend on how long you let the bottles sit though.

Lately a lot of places are switching to chloramine in place of chlorine, which is an extra hassle if you are a fishkeeper. Chloramine will not completely dissipate out of your water the way chlorine does, so it would be worth a phone call to contact your water supplier and find out what they are using. "Most" dechlorinators on the market now handle chlorine and chloramine.
