My 97 ram 1500 has also had some braking trouble. In my experience with it, low fluid and no leaks tells me that the bleeding probably won't help. I admire your dedication to freeing them up though. I'm usually to chicken to try that unless I've changed something.
They salt the roads pretty well around here and I have had trouble with the lines corroding closed. If you can get them to bleed, this isn't your problem.
If the e-brake doesn't grab, check the adjusters on the rear drums. I've had my truck 13 years and have had to replace the adjusters every 3-4 years.
If the front brakes don't work, check for worn pads or uneven wear pattern on the rotors. If all this looks ok, check for rust/grime built up around the calipers. In order to work correctly they need to move. I try to remove them once a year just to keep everything freed up.
