a) A leak will show in fluid loss. Easy to spot.
b) Perhaps. The servo can also be a problem.
c) No. A bomb leak causes a _hard_ pedal.
Other possibilities are air (especially in the compensation valve below
the master cylinder - very few monkey lads bleed it - and failing
flexible hoses. Get someone to press the brake while you hold each of
the flexible hoses.
