remove the cap and add ATF

Sorry if my question seemed silly. I am new to using my Micra.
The information I would like to get about adding clutch and brake fluid is do they share the same reservoir? where can I find it? what sort of oil/fluid should i use?
It will be brilliant if you can show me photos with circles, same way I have used.

Buy a Haynes Manual

brake fluid is the white canister next to the airbox where the brake booster is, fill with dot4/5.

clutch is mechanical cable which needs occasional adjusting as it wears over time, via thumbscrew at end of cable under the battery till the bite point is 1/2 way.

and a tin of gunk, going by the engine bay, it looks like the car was dredged from the canal
