Sounds like you have two separate issues....one the pads (and probably rotors by now) are worn out. Definitely get your pads replaced and inspect your rotors, if they show uneven wear or grooves replace the rotors (do not resurface if you have stock rotors).

The other issues sounds like a wheel bearing or CV joint. You can check the wheel bearing by lifting front, right of the car. Then grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o-clock position. Try and jiggle the wheel back and forth. If its loose at all then your wheel bearing needs to be replaced.
