Yes it could. Why not replace it? It's cheap and most people never do until they stall some dark lonely night.

It depends on what kind of car and what engine you have. Go ahead and replace the fuel filter although I don't think it will cure the rough idle. If you have a carburetor, it may need cleaning or adjusting. If you have fuel injection, try some injector cleaner in the tank.

The two fans are not working in your Daewoo Nubira 1997 is this a problem?

It is a problem. If the fans don't work, the engine will overheat when you are in slow or stopped traffic. This could simply be a fuse (check under the bonnet beside the battery for the fuse box - they should be clearly labelled). It could be the coolant teperature sensor or a fault on the engine management unit. Check with a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
