Yes, the clutch hydraulic system uses brake fluid.

Yes.

Brake fluid is just hydraulic fluid, as is clutch fluid. They are called clutch or brake fluid when talking about them so you can differentiate between the two in a conversation.

It says brake fluid or clutch fluid on the bottle basically in layman's terms. A more proper label for the bottle would be "automotive hydraulic fluid"
