whatever the manuel says to put in there

No.
yes because brake fluid wont wear out as much No, brake fluid will destroy the seals in the power steering system.
A few reasons. Fluid has a much higher density, and makes it easier to apply more force to the brakes. Fluid is much easier to contain and refill. No special equipment is necessary to fill a brake fluid reservoir.
nothing
brake fluid absorbs moisture thus brings the boiling point of your brake fluid down to a much lower temperature. if your brake fluid reaches this temperature you can loose your brakes temporally. also the moisture in the fluid will cause highly unwanted corrosion of internal parts of your brake system.
there is too much in the container If you filled the resevior with brake fluid PRIOR to replacing any of the brake linings, it will cause the fluid to "backflow" into the resevior, thus it will overflow and leak from the cap.
It uses brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid (brake fluid) is fed by the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid reservoir is just beneath the brake fluid reservoir. So, add fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to fill the clutch fluid, also.
Might depend on HOW MUCH brake fluid you put in there, but not much. The radiator holds quite a lot of mostly water, so a dash of brake fluid will quickly become very diluted. But since the radiator doesn't expect brake fluid, it'd make sense to have it flushed and refilled as soon as possible.
until the first line
Before you add brake fluid, are you SURE you need to add some? Because as brake pads wear, the brake fluid level goes down, but the brake pads need to be replaced then, BEFORE any brake fluid is added. Otherwise, when the brake pads ARE replaced, there will be too much brake fluid in the reservoir, and it will flow out when the pistons are pushed back into it's bore, to make room for the new pads. -Tom.
Yes. Normal brake fluid is actually synthetic
