Check the brake light switch. It should be mounted on the upper part of the brake pedal or the brake pedal frame. If the brake lights go off when you unplug it you have a stuck or shorted switch.

Not usually. It is possible for the mater cylinder get suck in the apply position, but the brake pedal would not return to the up position after stopping. A more common problem for the brakes to be stuck applied is a locked wheel cylinder or brake caliper, or a jambed parking brake. These issues will be at one or more of the wheels, so check there if your brake pedal is at normal height.

1: check the switch that the brake pedal opens and closes when you (respectively) release and apply the brake. using a voltmeter, verify that no voltage passes when the switch is open (brakes unapplied) - if there is continuity when there should not be, then the switch is the problem. you will have to be more specific beyond "stuck" if this does not help you.
