Can't comment on the tranny fluid level, but for the power steering fluid, the GM/Texaco stuff is fairly common(I believe the GM stuff is GM 984120, I think I may have a number or two wrong. Let me check my manual), I had no problem finding it at a local gas station.
My policy in regards to fluids that are not specified for use in Saabs is, unless the manual says its okay to put facsimiles in (or unless you know a lot about chemical engineering), DON'T. Sometimes (as in the case of brake fluid, DOT 4 vs. DOT 5) simple numerical differences on the cans has disastrous consequences. I would say drive (carefully!) to your nearest gas station and ask for power steering fluid. Write down the kind and look for that ID on the label, it should be there somewhere. If not, go to any decent auto parts store, I can 99% guarantee they'll stock it.
I'm having similar problems with my steering, let me know how your issue pans out.
