Yeah you should clean the brakes themselves and lube up the pads.

absolutely not, its a maintenance item

.brake fluid is designed to absorb moisture, and you need to flush it out with fresh if you want best brake performance and longest life. the brakes will still work even once the brake fluid looks like black paint, but its not good for the system.
