Brake booster may have failed. There for it may need replacing.

Being the engine does not create vacuum. The brake booster works off of hydraulic pressure from the powersteering pump. If the brake booster has failed that will cause your brake problem. Which may also be causing your powersteering problem.

Other then that I would look at your belt and make sure it is not slipping.
