Would a faulty Idle air control valve cause stalling AND the brakes to go out at the stall?

First of all, I don't think that your brakes are going out. I believe that since the engine is stalling, brake fluid isn't being pumped into your brakes. The brakes still work, they are just hard to press. Now, regarding the stalling ... a lot depends on how/when it stalls. Does it stall every time you're idling? Last November (2006), and now again, my 95 Camry is having the following issue ... I can drive it without issues first thing in the morning. I drive on the freeway for about 15 minutes, and as I decelerate off of the freeway, it starts to stumble. When I hit the first stop light, the idle drops very low ... to the point of stalling. To prevent this, I stick it in neutral and rev the engine until I can take off from the stoplight. Last year, we replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition coil, and ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor. Our belief was that the temp sensor was failing and causing the EGR (exhaust gas regulator) to trip. The EGR was expensive, so we stopped short of replacing that. Now, when the issue arises (rough idle), I tap on the EGR system and the idle improves. Our belief (hope) is that the EGR is dirty with carbon deposits, and is sticking. I am hoping that by cleaning it, we can resolve the idle issue and avoid buying a new EGR. My best advice is to go get a manual (I have a haynes) and go through the emission and engine control systems. There are quite a few components that can be tested. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me at brian.dunwiddie@charter.net, but I'm not sure how much more info I can give.

What are the symptoms of a faulty idle air control valve?
A faulty IAC will cause stalling problems at idle. Most of the time if you hold the gas pedal down it will run fine. Be careful because these symptoms can come from an EGR valve that is stuck open aswell. If you have a fast idle i would look for a intake leak.
Would a faulty ABS module lead to my 1999 Passat stalling?
I don't see how. The ABS system is designed to fall safe, ie, off.
Would having back brakes repaired have anything to do with car stalling when stopping a a stop sign?
Not really, unless they were adjusted too tight but you would have a dragging affect at all speeds and would smell the brakes burning. This is for brake shoes only as pads are not adjustable.

check your fuel pump, alot of magnas had faulty fuel pumps and due to your car stalling and splattering would be due to the fuel pump.

Why would a 1990 Buick Riviera stall during idle or at low acceleration?
I just purchased a 1990 Buick Riviera with 45,000 on it for my daughter. However, I did have a brief period that you discribed with the car stalling out. I don't know if this will help, but I just read at another site, that it may have a faulty idle air control.

Could be as simple as a faulty gas cap.
Why do auto pull to one side when you apply brakes?
If it only pulls slightly it could be that your your tire pressures are to high on one side an to low on the other, or the wheel alignment is out of track. If it is severe, one of your front brakes is not functioning properly (if it pulls to the left it would be the right brakes that are faulty and vice versa).
What would cause the rear wheels of a 2002 Honda Prelude to squeak and it is not the brakes?
It could be a faulty tire or possibly the wheel bearing, but I'd seriously inspect the brakes, even if you don't think anything is wrong. That's a FAR more common cause of noise.
What would cause the left back tire of a car not to turn?
Either a bad wheel bearing or siezed brakes on that side or if it's rear wheel drive it could be a faulty differential.
