Start with pulling all four wheels and inspecting the brakes.
It is likely not the brakes. It sounds more like underinflated/bad tires. It could also be a bad wheel bearing. If it turns out to be the brakes, you would repair it by replacing the pads and having the rotors turned by a machine shop.
it sounds like you should try and get the book if you want to learn it yourself in the long run its fun to repair your own car unless you don't have time you should get someone to repair that for you
Sounds like the brakes are shot! At this point I wouldn't want you to drive any further than your closest repair garage.
yes. "E" in "beetle" sounds like its name, therefore is long.
It sounds like there is a problem with the proportioning valve. I highly advise you to seek professional help with this repair. This is a very dangerous situation and needs to be corrected ASAP.
sounds like your brakes are not releasing properly
Sounds like low pads. many have built in wear indicators that squeal to warn you.

The sound of a beetle can vary widely depending on the species, but many produce subtle noises such as clicking, buzzing, or chirping. These sounds are often generated by movements of their wings or body, or through stridulation, where they rub body parts together. Some beetles, like the click beetle, can produce a distinctive clicking noise as a defense mechanism. Overall, beetle sounds are generally soft and can be difficult to hear without close proximity.
Sounds like you need to replace your brakes very soon. You may need to replace hubs as well.
Bleed the brakes. It sounds like you have air in the system.
