I checked the maintenance manual. It does't mention these 2 fluids at all.
It looks like not much people know about it.

I just called the dealer. They said every 2 year.
If there is too much moisture in the fluid, would I lose the brake function gradually or suddenly?

Every 30k on the coolant and every 2 years for brake fluid. As long as your MC resevoir is not left open, you shouldn't have moisture issues.
