By the brakes not working, I suspect you mean they are not stopping well or grinding when you press the pedal. If that is the case then yes, you need to replace them.

No, you need all four wheels. Rear brakes ae not enough.
Do not drive the car until you fix the front brakes. It is very dangerous.

Not as well as using four wheels to stop the car.
You should not be driving the car.
