Civic 6th gen newbie questions

Hi, recently I purchased a 6th gen Civic and I have various questions.
First, the fluids
What fluids are located in points 1, 2 and 3? (see the attached picture).
I see that 2 is near the minimum. Is this the clutch fluid and can I put the same DOT3/DOT4 fluid like on the brakes?
And when putting fluid should the old one be removed first, because I don't know whether it was DOT3 or DOT4? Does this matter?
Thanks

Dot 3 and 4 are both fine in the car. Mixing them shouldn't matter. Just be sure to bleed the line.

I'm on my phone so can't see picture to help you

1.Brake Fluid
2.Clutch Hydraulic Fluid
3.Power Steering Fluid

If memory serves me, they all should say on the cap or top of the reservoir what they are.

It wouldn't hurt to remove the old fluid and refill it with fresh fluid.

Clutch and brake are both dot 3 or 4. And power steering fluid is self explanatory
