A/C blowing warm - questions

I went for a drive last week and used the A/C. It cooled quite well, but I did hear a hissing sound - it was coming and going, not constant.

Today, I took the car out, pushed the A/C button, but did not get cool air. When I got back home, I popped the hood and verified that the A/C clutch is not engaging.

Could the variable hissing sound have been an indicator of low refrigerant? I'm pretty sure it's still an R12 system. These days, how difficult is it to get an R12 refill?
