dot4 replaced dot3 years ago and dot 5.1 is the up grade from dot4 and seeing as you are flushing/replacing the fluid it will be fine
on your piston do you mean the shiny crome coating is pitted and showing rust if it was my car id keep an eye on it and look out for a replacment caliper it will always be in your mind will it fail not only that there is also other road users to think off itup to you if you replace the caliper
