If you don't push too hard, expecially on corner entry, your tyres should be fine. As for brakes, make sure you run in short sessions (4 or 5 laps a go) and give them time to recover and again you should be fine.

I have to say though, the general tenor of your questions reveals a certain amount of inexperience. An initial track-day session in a hired car with tuition may be a good way to dip a toe in without being intimidated. Track driving is VERY different to road driving.
