Attaching homemade brakes on a bike is a simple process/ You will need a wrenches and cable cutters. The first step is to loosen the brake caliper, then loosen the near the back and pull the gyro loose. The final step is cutting the brake cable to the right size, attaching the cable to the right side of the brake, and testing the brakes to make the sure the cable does not break.

Yes.... the brakes will make a "metallic" sound when the brakes are getting worn.
THe brakes rarely need to stop. But the brakes can be used to make the bike stop.
Make sure there are no fluid leaks getting on the brake linings' Make sure all brakes are working and are adjusted properly Make sure brakes are wearing equally
When motorcycle brakes lock, they make a light grinding sound accompanied by the loud screeching of the tires. When the brakes lock, the tires are forced to slide along the pavement until the brakes are released on the bike stops.
They make it so the car does not lock up the brakes and slide. Antilock braking system.
Having a higher seat will make it easier also if your going at a pretty fast speed you should be able to keep your balance a bit easier.
Get your brakes tested. I do not know what a ticking sound means.
Yes, they make a screeching sound.
warped brake discs can cause your brakes to grab in reverse. Hope this helps.

Disk brakes should appear as shiny plates with the calipers on top and in full view. Drum brakes will appear as a 'bowl' which make telling them apart instant.
