Relax, you shouldn't be worried. The TOEFL is really easy (well, unless you want to get a perfect score, of course). Judging from what you've written, I am positive that you're going to pass! I took it in January 2005 and got a 289 out of 300. Got 5 on the essay (out of the 6 max). I didn't really spend a lot of time preparing for it - less than a month. At the very least, you should be familiar with the basic grammar rules. There are a lot of good books on the subject - I used the one by Barron's. The most difficult part of the exam is going to be the essay. But since you can get all the topics ahead of time (you can find them on the toefl.org site), you ought to think a bit about them and have at least a general idea of what you can write about each of them. It's also good to do a few practice tests.
Well, that's it. Again, don't worry! You've got more than enough time to prepare for the exam. Stay motivated and you'll succeed. Wish you the best of luck!
