    Tighten the power steering belt. If the ebrake works, adjust the cable so it pulls all the way down. That'll make the back brakes not drag anymore.

    have you checked your brake fluid level lately? check to see if its low..... there is a sensor that comes on when it gets low.

    im assuming the charge light does not flash on at the same time right? otherwise that would indicate somethin in the charging system is goin south.....

    anyhow, check your fluid level and report back in.

    as for your power steering mystery noise its probably either low on fluid or you may have air in the system........ is it constant or sparatic?
