No you don't have to upgrade the brakes, but you can if you want.
Unfortunately theres not much you can do to a gen 2 as far as brakes go. Rotors (crossdrilled, slotted, or crossdrilled + slotted), pads, stainless steel braided lines, and rear disc brake coversion if you have drums in the rear.
You can look into getting a big brake kit custom made, but thats $$$.

also my engine is about 13 yrs old... do u think its wise to turbo or supercharge it.... cuz i kno it supposed to increase wear on the engine...

Up to you. How many miles are on the engine? If theres alot of miles on the engine I suggest that you rebuild it before you start boosting or just do a engine swap (3S-GTE
).
Anytime you add forced induction (turbo, supercharger, nitrous) your putting more wear on the engine.

and wats the chances of the engine dieing if i put in a supercharger or a turbo...?

My 3S-FTE is dead cos it was overboosting. I only wanted to run 4 - 5 psi, but I was seeing 10 psi. The spring in the wastegate actuator was to tight.
It lasted for 2 weeks till the engine just died one day. Oil all over the engine and inside the intake manifold. The pistons rings are gone.
It was fun while it lasted though.
