Get a front brake (tektro usually fine). Sort out the cable housing length for the rear one. Saddle angle. If you just need new pads for the rear check on ebay to find some identically shaped ones. Brands like clarks are usually safe bets.
Consider switching it to singlespeed if you haven't ridden fixed before and find it awkward / hard.
