I'm only 5'3 with an inseam length of 27-28 inches, so I'm hoping that this bike won't be too small.
That is a small bike; it is probably the right size for you. As long as you can straddle over the top tube, you're in business (even if you touch it, that will be OK if not ideal). Don't sweat what you see about the brakes. Just make sure the bike looks straight and the wheels. Make sure the brakes work and the derailleur shifts. If all that happens, you are in business. $45 is just a really good deal. I'd be tempted to pick it up if it were local and I don't have a need for it.
