Maintenance record is unclear, but from what I saw, its body and inside is very clean.
Problem is that it needs new pads and rotors on 4 corners and a new rear left abs sensor. (brake vibrates, probably a wrapped rotor?)

Yes I'll change it engine oil and flush the brake while installing new pads.
But I'm wondering if I should flush its coolant, trans, diff?

Any other issues I should lookout for this kind of "old" but low mileage car?

Thanks

I would do the oil, but not worry about the other fluids until you hit around 100,000km.

Also flush the brake fluid when you change the rotors and pads.
