Can it being low make your brake caliber lock up?
If you mean low of brake fluid, the answer is no. When a caliber locks up it is usually caused by contamination of moisture in the brake fluid. This causes the caliber to rust and then it will lock up. You are more than likely going to have to replace both front calipers. You also need to flush your brake system and put in fresh brake fluid.

How do I bleed brake fluid in a Ford Focus?
You will need a helper. Start at the Right Rear wheel and have the helper push down on the brake pedal and hold pressure then you will turn the bleed screw on the caliber counterclockwise. Once the brake pedal goes to the floor tighten the bleeder valve and then tell the helper to release the brake pedal. Keep repeating this until you see no more air bubble escaping from the caliber. Repeat these steps at the LR, the RF, and end up at the LF caliber. Make sure the helper keeps the master cylinder full at all times.
