hydraulics are separate systems, the only thing they shgare that I can think of would be the swing assembly itself that the pedals attach to.

Sounds like your driving it around, why do you think the clutch is bad?

Take a look at the slave cylinder on top of the tranny, the pushrod should have pressure against it. Before I adjusted mine after the clutch replacement it was loose, I could remove it by hand. If yours is similar I'd suggest adjusting it as I described earlier before replacing the clutch.

Clutch slips a lot, as soon as it starts boosting... im waiting for a new clutch and now i drive it really slow without boosting because i have to, i have no other way to get to the parking lot where i park truck and earn money with it :)

So that slave cylinder also has something to do with brakes or not? Because clutch pedal wont return after hard braking too

no clue on that one. Will it do it when your stopped? I'd look at your pedals and make sure nothings bent and interfering with your clutch pedal.

Only thing I can think of is that you have a worn bushing or something in the brake/clutch pedal assembly.

Here's some pictures of the pedal assembly
