The driver of the car is responsible for his own vehicle. If you hit a curb, it's your own fault.
The driver of a vehicle is responsible for the proper functioning of that vehicle. Even if you did not know the brakes were bad, the accident and all damages are the fault of the driver.
In most states, the driver backing up is always responsible for avoiding a collision unless other circumstances enter into the collision, such as DUI, excessive speed or faulty brakes on the part of the other vehicle. But even then, the responsibility may be "shared".
it doesnt have a timing belt, it has a chain.
The car behind you is responsible for the damage to both cars. They are also responsible for putting you and the other driver in a rental car while your cars are being fixed.

Front brakes wear faster than rear brakes because they bear a greater portion of the vehicle's weight and are responsible for most of the braking force during stops. This increased workload causes them to wear down more quickly than the rear brakes.
When parking on a sloping driveway, you should turn your front wheels toward the curb if you're facing downhill, and away from the curb if you're facing uphill. This helps prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brakes fail. Additionally, always engage the parking brake to provide extra security.
Auto technicians work on cars. They fix things under the hood, such as with the engine or a starter. They can also change brakes and rotors, along with some damages.
Sometimes the self adjust rod gets rusty or corroded. When that happens it also damages the arm. Replace them both.
If you're looking for sympathy you're in the wrong place. You are completely responsible for all damages. And let me point out that if you hadn't been driving the car, (you know, illegally) you wouldn't be in this mess. And more importantly, the other person who's car you... destroyed? wouldn't be having to figure out what to do now.

When the engine dies, the power steering and vacuum assisted brakes are no longer receiving the "help" from the engine. Find out why the engine is stalling and the rest of the problems will go away.
