Booth was a very famous actor and had a known.... flair for the dramatic. So yeah, it makes sense that he would throw around Shakespeare quotes while killing someone. Oddly, I'm not sure that he fully 'got' the tragedy of Brutus and Cassius. Maybe he stopped after Act 3 and figured it all worked out for the assassins.
