drive it with no pedal, i used to do it all the time when i delivered pizzas. now i carry an extra cable in my car. you have a hydraulic clutch so you may just have a bad slave cylinder or something in which case you fix it right there in the parking lot.

Slave cylinder was replaced not long ago by the guy who I bought it from. Mechanic says it's the clutch for sure.

On the driver's side of the engine there's 2 things where fluid goes in. One says brake fluid and the other one is a little that also says brake fluid and it's empty. Is the tiny one for the clutch pedal?

yup, you have a leak. You will need to add fluid to the small one, bleed the clutch system, then drive home.
