Is it ok to replace "a little bit panicky" with "a little bit panic" here?

No, "panic" cannot be used here as it is a noun. An adjective is needed in this sentence to describe the speaker's current state, so we can use the adjective form of "panic," "panicky" (which is the informal, non-standard form of "panicked") or "panicked" (the correct form) here. Ex: I feel a little panicked at the moment. => Panicked, adjective Ex: The man flew into a panic because he lost an important item. => Panic, noun
