If you don't have a ground in your wiring method you should not extend any ungrounded circuits.
The recessed lights will have a warning that they should only be used with wiring that has 90 degree rated insulation. You old wiring will not meet this.

Lights and a fan do not need GFCI protection.
If you are remodeling the bathroom then it needs to be brought up to code. This would mean the circuit needs to be grounded.
