I would say yes,power steer fluid is auto oil. Is there a problem that made you check the oil! Possibly need to check for a leak.

I would still put a bit of fluid into it in the interim.

By the way, you top it up via the trans dipstick tube, and you check the level with the trans selector in neutral, motor running, hand brake on, no kids in vehicle.

top it up and test drive it. If it still slips dontwaste money on a trans service as your trans will be on its way out.

Yes you can top up with power steering fluid. I wouldn't get a flush on it though. At most, just do a drain and re fill. If its still slipping, then start shopping around for a new car/transmission.
