Yes. It should have a wisdom score no matter what. Even if the score is a 1 or a 3 (with the appropriate negative modifier), I’d say, as long as it’s a creature. Only an object might have no wis score, but then spells like that don’t usually target objects.
Yes they both do unless it specifically says they're immune to the damage type, for instance a lot of constructs are immune to psychic damage but would still take damage from other effects that require a WIS save
Like Xalthu and CunningSmile stated, yes all creatures, even constructs have a Wisdom Score, and thus need to make a Wisdom Save if the spell like Toll the Dead calls for it.
For our table, we attribute Construct's intelligence and wisdom comes from the Magic that creates them.
Hope this helps :)
Cheers!

If a monster doesn't have a BRAIN (cuz construct) should it still make wisdom saves from like toll the dead?

My question was do constructs and non sapient undead make wisdom saves

Here are some examples:
you can look at other Constructs in the Monster Manual as well:
