Hello.
Firstly, the most important thing to keep in mind Post Root canal treatment is that the tooth becomes brittle. Please make sure that you need to get a permanent filling rather than a temporary one and above that a full coverage restoration ( crown) .
The reason for bleeding on brushing and bad breathe could be that you have deposits in your oral cavity and you have avoided professional teeth cleaning ( scaling) in the last 6 months.
Please visit a dentist for a detailed consultation post which a through professional cleaning and post X Ray for your Root canal treated teeth( if the root canal is completely fine with no signs of infection) then go ahead with full Coverage restorations ( crown )
Next Steps
Visit your dentist for X Ray with root canal treated teeth and full coverage restoration and professional cleaning of your entire oral cavity
Health Tips
Post root canal the tooth becomes brittle so till the time the treatment for those teeth is not initiated please don't bite or eat anything too hard from that side

We could help you with both. Root canal treatment could be completed and the smell may be due to pus accumulation which will be cleared. A mouthwash for better breath and root canal will take care of bleeding
Next Steps
Visit a dentist ASAP. Get the incomplete treatment finished

You have to undergo the complete treatment of root canal treatment and permanent filling and followed by a crown which would be if ceramic or zirconia then only the problem would resolve
