No need to get underneath!  Reach behind that plastic cover over the
instrument cluster.  There are two depressions on the back side for your
fingers.  Tug upwards; the whole cover will unsnap, and you'll be able to
remove it.  The brake fluid reservoir will be under there.  This is also
how you change the instrument cluster bulbs.

To answer your next question, the windshield washer fluid filler is
accessed by pulling back the edge of the carpet next to the driver's side
door. ;)
