Sounds like you need to replace that hose and the MC. There should be no "fluid everywhere". What kind of fluid? Brake fluid I assume.

MC is master cylinder. Seems to me it's leaking badly into the brake booster.

The busted hose is a major vac leak, so yea. Fix it and replace the mc for brakes sake. LOL
