Use Regular DOT 3 brake fluid. If your fluid reservoir is almost empty, most like ly you have air in system. So you better bleed it. The nut is located on slave cylinder to bleed teh system.

no you can leave the car on the ground, If you dont have one of those automatic bleeders, you need 2 people, one pumping the pedal and the other turning the bleeder screws to catch the fluid in the catch can

Maybe you're better off without a working clutch.
