How is the pedal feel? Does it seem normal, yet there is poor braking action?
Or does the pedal seem hard to press?

A hard pedal could be from a problem with the power brake booster. They are vacuum operated and can develop a leak but I'm not entirely convinced that is your problem either. too bad you don't have a similar car with decent brakes to compare it to.

Sometimes the booster will fail because the rear of the master cylinder leaks brake fluid into it. Though the fluid that leaks through gets sucked into the engine and burnt due to the vacuum, it can damage the booster. It may be worth changing booster and master cylinder both.
