Fading brake pedal

That is quite normal with most cars i have driven with power assisted brakes.
Usually can be felt at the pedal 10-15 seconds after one has stopped and maintained a consistent pressure on the pedal with ones foot. (i.e. at traffic lights)
It is always well worth however checking ones master cylinder reservoir to ensure the fluid levels within the correct range and to confirm no fluid loss by leaks in the hydraulics. I note that you have already done that anyway.

Not necessarily, It can be an internal leak, as was mentioned above. If your master cylinder seals are leaking, the piston might be bypassing slowly.

Think of it like a french press coffee maker. The fluid just goes from one side of the plunger to the other, instead of being forced to the bottom and through a line to the brake.
