Why would the clutch stick to the floorboard and the power steering and power brakes go out all at once?

I am just guessing; but, check the serpentine or drive belt to see if it has broken; or, in the case I encountered, the tensioner broke off, leaving the belt to flop off. It was an automatic; but, when it happened the Power Steering went out; and, eventually most of the power options (lights, wipers, etc.) stopped working once the batter ran out of juice. Once the battery died, the shifter locked until it was jumped and the battery had some time to get some juice.

96 gmc safari van the power steering and the brakes are out this morning fluids are good and so are the belts any idea what the problem might be?
Are the brakes out or is the power brake system not working properly. I believe those vehicles have the hydro boost power brake system. If so, the power steering pump is what applies the power brakes, no vacuum is needed. If something is wrong with the power steering pump (empty, no belt, malfunctioning) it will affect the power brakes as well.
Is it the vacuum pump or steering pump that's bad if you lose brakes and steering same time?
power steering pump
Why did the power brakes and steering go out on your 1990 astro?
Two things: 1. Your power steering pump is quite - this will affect your steering (of course) but will effect the brakes too 2. You lost your main belt that operates all the aulterator, steering, cooling system and brakes (the serpantine belt) - if the belt is still on and tight - its number one (I had both happen1)

If the power steering pump goes out on 99 suburban do you loose power brakes also?
If you have a hydroboost brake system (on 3/4 ton diesel and some 3/4 ton 454 trucks) you will not have power brakes if you loose the power steering pump. However, if you have any motor besides the 6.5 diesel or 7.4l, you have vaccume assisted power brakes. You can tell which you have by looking at the firewall where the master cylinder is, if you have a large round pancake looking thing attached to the back of the master cylinder you have vaccume brakes, if you have a small hydraulic gizmo (you can tell by the three power steering lines attached to the sides of it) you have Hydroboost brakes that operate off of the power steering pump.

Can power stearing fluid affect the clutch?
Yes If the power steering oil was put in the clutch hydraulics those hydraulics are ruined. If in some weird way it got onto the clutch disk the clutch would slip and drag.
