Low brake fluid for the error message and worn pads for the noise. The fluid is probably low because of the worn pads, the pistons need to move further, so the reservoir level drops.

Time for a general brake service, if you have $$$ get Lucas pads, if not, genuine Toyota OEM will surfice for road usage :-)
