So I guess you also confirmed that the brake is sticking enough to get really hot? It should be very noticeable keeping your hand close to the wheel. You should also see the disk having a purple color.
Maybe I haven't ever driven with really bad brake fluid, but while I have experienced brake fade due to a sticking caliper (and pulling of the car as a consequence) it didn't result in loss of brake pressure. Once one of my cars stood there with a smoking brake, still no loss of pressure.
