Pedal travels to the floor when braking and the brakes don’t work great, bleed brakes haven’t sorted it, when the car is off, and I press the brake pedal until it’s hard it stays hard for a bit before going down again does this mean my brake booster is gone?

Does the booster make a hissing sound while driving, if not it is probably okay. It sounds more like the brake master has gone bad, or you have a seized caliper slide.

Please go over these two guides and get back to me:

And this can make the pedal go to the floor as well:
