as of the check engine light it could be numerous things. dont worry about it unless it comes back and stays on. or if it keeps coming and going, then try and see if you can somehow get some place to check it real quick while its on.

now for the brakes, they might need replaced. thats normally a sign something is bad back there either with brakes/caliper or the park brake cable isnt releasing on that side. you need a second person to pull the park brake while you check to make sure the cable is releasing at the caliper. if that seems fine, then it could be a frozen caliper either piston or the slides. ive seen plenty of cars that the brakes dont seem to release do to slides seizing and all of them have been on cars that go through lots of snow/salt covered roads.
