What would cause a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire to almost die when at a stop light or when idling?
I would suspect a weak EGR valve. It should be toward the rear of the motor. Take a non or low flammable spray (WD40) and spray on or around the valve and on and around the seals and if the engine smoothes out that is where the problem is. A severe vaccum leak causes a lean condition which in turn causes the problem you have. Also spray around the hoses, gaskets, etc.

Can egr valve affect the brakes?
No the EGR valve has nothing whatsoever to do with the brakes. It is an emissions control device. -But since it could affect a little the idling rate of the engine, and since the engine when idling generates more vacuum that by its turn assists the vehicle brakes force needed to act on the pedal, indeed it could "affect the brakes" a little. Not directly; as I described the driver would need to press harder on the pedal to get same breaking results as he/she is used to, maybe leading to some sort of dangerous situation.
