Yes. In totality, you can safely stare at a black hole of a Sun for 2-3 minutes on end, no glasses required, and marvel at the fine details of the corona and the intense red-pink light of the chromosphere. You get to experience a profound bone-chilling realization that we are on a literal rock hurtling through space.
I doubt you saw all that for 2-3 minutes, but if you're happy with what you saw then that's all that matters, really. Enjoy April 8th and clear skies!
I have not seen a total one since i was a small kid, so I can't really say... Totality will have these things last longer, but I'm sure there is no clear-cut difference.
