It doesnt matter whether its running or not.

Brake fluid is hydroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the atmosphere so it has to come from a sealed container and your cars brake fluid needs changing every two years.

Light yellowish colour is ok, if its a dark colour it needs changing.

Where do you put brake fluid on 1999 Saab 9.5?

if your brake fluid is low, you probably need to replace your brake pads. If your pads are good and you fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere. By replacing your pads, the brake fluid level will rise to the proper level. If you add fluid now, then replace your pads, brake fluid will leak out the top of your fluid reservoir and most likely eat the paint off what ever it spills on. Brake fluid and car paint DO NOT MIX.
