There is no such thing. Training on air brakes is only required by CDL drivers. If they do not complete both the written air brakes test and conduct their road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, they receive a restriction prohibiting them from operating an air brake equipped CMV. For non-commercial vehicles, there is no training or testing requirement in regards to air brake systems, whatsoever, hence, there is no air brake endorsement.
Depends on your country. If you have an air brake endorsement, then you're not in the US, as there is no such thing here. Other countries require it. Your licensing requirements for operating that vehicle will also depend on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
No such thing. That is a scam.
The brake light switch is not air actuated.

Railway air brake was created in 1872.
Then you need to bleed the brake system to remove the air.
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
More info, please. Namely, are you talking about an air brake system? You should hear some air as you apply and release the brake, but you shouldn't hear a continuous air sound as the brake is applied - if so, you've probably got a compromised air line or a bad brake chamber.
If it's a job which requires a CDL, then you cannot have the "no air brake" restriction. There is no such thing as an "air brake license" in the US.
The air in an air brake system is the "fluid" to activate the brake, much like brake fluid activates the brakes in your car. One difference is that you are not pushing air down the lines when you step on the brake pedal, instead you are releasing a metered amount of air, or "application pressure" from the reservoir, through the treadle valve (brake pedal/valve) to the brake chambers, to apply the brakes. Air also releases the parking brake, as the parking brake is always in the on mode, until you push a valve on the dashboard, sending compressed air to the parking brake chambers, releasing them. The parking brakes are spring powered, and the air over rides these springs.
