TR6 1976 TR6 Brakes and Clutch

Thanks for all the help so far. I have have been refurbishing the 76 TR6 I got about a month ago. 23k miles, sitting in a barn for 30 years.

I have:
- refurbished the radiator, changed all hoses, belt (yes, I had to remove the cross brace, thermostat, flushed engine.
- Had gas tank professionally cleaned and coated inside and out, replaced the fuel lines, filter and pump.

Questions:
1.) There are two holes in the spare tire pit towards the front of the floor. Should these be plugged or left open for condensation to drain out (the trunk is immaculate)?
2.) The clutch pedal does not move at all. The fluid cylinder had a dry powder in it. What would be my next step to figure out what I need to clean, rebuild or replace?
3.) I flushed the brake lines and they seem clear. How do I check out the master cylinder to see wht it needs? I don't know yet if I need to completely change all of the brakes themselves or is this pretty much inevitable?

Thanks a million.
