add brake fluid.
and if brake fluid is full, the sensor in the cap might be bad. (cheap to replace the cap if that is what's causing it)

You're alternator might be going bad. My e-brake light came on when my alternator was bad, once vtec hits, it goes off.

I'd bet on the battery dying out before the alternator.

check those pads out. If it's that low and nothing is leaking than the pads are nearing the end of their life.
