The brake problem sounds like a worn brake master cylinder. Either a rebuild or replacement (preferable) is required. It's a simple job, but I would definitely get it fixed immediately.
The idle problem is probably a vacuum leak. Check that all the vacuum lines are securely attached and that none of the hoses are cracked or broken. As MichaelG says, the Automatic Idle Control valve may also be sticking. This can often be fixed by cleaning it with carbureator cleaner.
