Well, I had some work done on my front brakes a couple of weeks ago at the shop...I have to check the brake fluid level...
Did this start shortly AFTER the brake work? The brakes and clutch share the same fluid reservoir. If air was introduced into the system during the brake work, they had to bleed the brakes at the calipers but they probably did not bleed the clutch cylinder. The mechanic may not be aware that they share the same system. Bleed the clutch and see if that fixes it. Just keep an eye on your fluid level during the bleeding. You don't want to reintroduce more air into the system by letting the level drop too low!! Otherwise you'll have re bleed the entire brake and clutch system!!
As far as your grinding question goes, no if the clutch is not disengaging you won't even be able to move the shift forks enough to get to the point of grinding. Grinding from bad synchros would only occur as you are getting into your chosen gear. If the clutch is not disengaging, you are not getting to that point
