If your car has a hydrolytic clutch it uses a fluid to transfere the pressure you apply to the pedal to operate the clutch mechanism between engine and the transmission. If you have a leak in the system your clutch system will loose its ability to operate. Often the leak is actually inside the chambers of the master cylinder ( pump you operate when pushing the pedal ) so it's internal so you may not actually see dripping fluid under the car. If the part that does the clutch movement ( called the slave cylinder ) is leaking you my see guild under the car or dripping from the area of the clutch. Check your clutch fluid resevor and see if it's low. If it is fill it with the recommended fluid and see if the function returns. If it does have the system checked for leaks before it leaves you stranded some place more problematic than your home.

Check to see if the fuel pump is mounted inside the tank if so you have to remove the tank to replace it some cars have it under the back seat where you can access the top of the fuel tank where the pump is located good luck

The fuel sensor should be in the fuel manifold and not it is not necessary for the fuel filter to be full as the fuel in equals fuel out and unless you can invert the filter, the air is of no consequence.

The cluster is the gauges, the speedometer, tachometer , and the warning l;ights. It all is removed as a single package, why it's called a cluster.
