What is the ruling regarding my fasting and prayer while experiencing intermittent and light brownish spotting during the use of menstruation-delaying pills in Ramadan?

If the discharge is brown and outside the usual time of menstruation, then your fast is valid and it is not considered menstruation. However, if what you saw was red blood, then it is considered menstruation due to the validity of the time of its appearance for that.
