There is a clutch interlock safety switch. Look under the dash at the clutch pedal linkage and you should see it. Maybe jump the two wires for now to bypass it. While under the dash check that the pedal bushings are good. Also check for flexing/cracking of the firewall around the master cyl.
For the other issue check that your brake lights are working properly.
