Even worse is running the risk of dripping that stuff onto your paint while trying to keep some old most likely contaminated fluid.

You're going to need to purchase more fluid to replenish what you'll lose. Those bottles should be plenty to fill it with new fluid.
You're going to have to bleed them either way.
Is it not good to let the master cylinder run dry?

It doesn’t hurt the master cylinder, but it makes the job a lot more difficult when you add in bleeding air out of the master cylinder. Personally, I’d avoid letting it get dry for that reason. It’s not hard to seal a disconnected banjo fitting.
