Lights, squeaks, and rattles. Ebrake?

Okay, so there's really no rattles, and I'm not so worried about this problem or anything, it's not the end of the world, but it's a bit bizarre:

The red BRAKE light came on, and my assumption is the break is either a) going bad or b) sticking. So I'll try to figure that out, but after doing a search, I read that if I back up and slam on the brakes six times the light will go away.

It did. Then I put the car in drive and moved two inches, the brake light came back on. And when I'm stopped at a light, for example, it usually goes off but comes back on as I begin to move.

So I just need to know what that means.

Secondly, when the e-brake is in use, it squeaks when you get in and out of the car, but I'm just assuming that's due to the pressure but I could be making that up.
