brownish spots is a desease. I had a java fern too with that desease. I think you should prune all the leaves with the spots as when the leaves touch each other that is ow the desease spreads. Check Simpte for more info

Not a disease. A sign that the plant is going to reproduce. They are called sporangia.

It kind of depends on the kind of brown spots to be specific.
If they are nice circular areas on the under side of the leaf they are plantlet spores, but if they are irregular yellowy brown areas you see from the top of the leaf and they start to get holey, those are generally older leaves that are dying. Cut them off.
