I wouldn't think so. The pressure would be to great for the clutch slave cylinder.

No...why do you think they don't use the same cylinders on production cars?

The operating principal is the same, but a clutch slave is not designed to move the amount of fluid required for a four wheel brake setup.
They typically have a shorter throw and a smaller cylinder bore. They might work ok on like a go-cart or something with a single motorcycle disc on the rear axle.

or individualy on say rear brakes? One on each wheel... so you can use them like cutting brakes

-Oh no I picked a side-
It depends on what kinda brake and how its mechanicaly built.

you could always use the pedal assembly and put a non booster'd brake master in place of the clutch. You might have to mess with the pedal throw a bit.
I know a few automatic comp buggy's run a two pedal brake setup.
