Since bleeding is mentioned, what's the best way to bleed brake lines and the clutch: 1. empty all old fluid first, then fill with new and bleed, or 2. fill reservoir periodically as the old fluid is bled out?

Technically, go under the car and open the bleeder valve. Since I am lazy, I did what you said. Of course I have been doing it since the car had about 2500 miles.

I empty the old fluid out with a high-tech turkey baster. The clutch reservoir is pretty small. I haven't had any clutch stick issues in a couple of hard track days but I did swap the fluid out before going as CSC's are prone to overheating.
