I think you'll be fine.... and 1 liter of brake fluid will be plenty

It's always good to upgrade your brakes, but you really don't need slotted rotors, ss lines, and motul 600's if you aren't driving your car on road course tracks in my opinion. Also, hawk HPS pads aren't really upgrades from the stock ones. If you are just driving on the street and only go to a drag strip once a year, I would just save money and stay with stock brake systems. If you want something better in terms of fade resistance and initial bites, try Ferodo DS2500 pads and be done with it. Just my $.02

Looks good to me, BUT if you track your car at all I might go with a more aggressive pad than the Hawk HPS. The Hawk HP+ are better, but from what I hear they squeak quite a bit on the street.
I've been happy with my Ferodo Racing DS2500s. They hold up well at the track and they don't squeak hardly at all on the street.

you definitely do not need or want motul fluid. for drag strip work regular dot3 or at most ATE typ200 fluid will be fine. like others said, spend your money on lower rotational inertia items like wheels.

DS2500 pads front and rear and you'll be good. Do the brake fluid if you plan to go to the track. The Motul RBF600 needs to be flushed more often than normal brake fluid and you'll never see any benefits in normal driving.
Rotors and lines are a nice upgrade but definitely not needed. You will not notice any difference with these for your use.
