Looks like you need new cables mate. Also check the levers on the callipers are free

And should them gold tubes be In the bracket In front of them (to the right of them in the pic)

 

Yes, they should be in the bracket attached to the car tunnel.

Yep, new cables. Undo them at the handbrake, Pull the clip off that the red arrow points too and unhook the end that the blue arrow points to.

 

Make sure the lever that the yellow arrow points to is free and not seized.

New cables worked on mine for a while but still ended up looking like yours. Turned out to be the rear calipers so I upgraded to some from a golf and no further problems.
