Yes, driving without a license is an offense, regardless of what the circumstances were.
Yes! At first it may seem wrong because you were in the passenger's seat but you operated the car by putting on the emergency break, which is counted as driving.

Added: Officers on the scene investigating a traffic accident can only issue a ticket to the operator of the vehilce who they determine was At Fault. Their job is NOT to decide whether your story is true or not. . . that's what court and judges are for. If that is your defense, go to court and tell the judge. Taking the so-called "friend" with you and having them testify to what they did might convicne the judge, but the fact of the matter is this: Like the Captain of a ship, the driver is legally assumed to be in control of their vehicle andits passengers at all times.
