If the rust is that deep, maybe they need to be turned on a lathe?

have someone tow you with a rope and press on the brakes a few times

Can't see that being worth it.
OP, don't worry about it.

Just drive the car, It will come right off with a few good stops

Just drive around the block a few times. Then give it one good hard stop. It will be fine.

Rust on the rotors ain't nothing. What you have to watch out for when a car sits for long periods of time. Is the pistons sticking in the calipers. Don't think you have to worry about that yet.
