Astra just failed test -Wheel on drivers side didnt hold when using handbrake but ok if using foot pedal- why would this be?

Handbrake and foot brake use different callipers - the handbrake only works on 1 set of wheels (front or rear) whereas the foot brake uses separate callipers on all 4 wheels. In your case, I would guess the handbrake calliper on the affected wheel has failed. Other, foot brake callipers and disks obviously working OK.

What doe it mean when brakes squeak when you take your foot off of them?

your brake pads are sticking in the callipers a bit. Remove them, clean up where they sit in the callipers, put copper grease on the back of the pads and the arms where they sit on the calliper, and job done. Make sure not to get copper grease on the pad itself, otherwise you will have trouble stopping until it burns off!
