The level is good but its brown. Looks like motor oil in there. Don't know why it would be so brown.
Brake fluid attracts moisture, the brown is from corrosion in the system. I would bleed the system which should also flush it out.

Best place to bleed it from?
Good question. The slave cylinder should have a bleeder on it. You could crack it and do a gravity bleed or have some one pump the clutch like you would when bleeding brakes.

Welp. The clutch goes all the way to the floor board with ease. Won't even start now. My brother works at carmax and he's gonna get the mechanics to take a look at it.

Decided to take it to my brothers work and it lost the ability to go in first and reverse on the way. Shortly after I got there the clutch pedal was useless

I think it has to to with the clutch safety switch and I know either your clutch or the master or slave is fucked.
