You do NOT need to do this multiple times to the brake's hydraulic system. Once you see clear fluid at the wheel then it is flushed. For the powr steering, yes, start the engine so the pump is working. There are two hoses to the pump and when turning, one generally sucks fluid in and the other forces fluid out.
