The seat looks from the pictures to be quite nose down.
Also is it high enough? You’ll find that most people ride with more seatpost showing, you can find some guides to Simple bike fit on YouTube. If you can’t raise your saddle more than it is now then it’s likely that the frame is too big for you in general (too long)
If you’re considering bullhorn bars then you’ll likely need new brake levers if/when you switch to those, either “aero” ones that go in the end of the bar or ones that clamp in the centre of the bar next to the stem. (Personally I’d keep the risers)

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.
