The first thing I would do is a quick throttle body check and clean. Throttle could be sticking due to dirt and deposits.
Be sure to make check the connecting hoses for leaks or have a cracks.

Seems like there are several problems here. If you're saying that your brakes don't work, fix that first.

Clean your IACV, that'll probably take care of the odd idle surging issue. There's a DIY on how to do it in the DIY/maintenance section of the forum.
