My first guess on your idle is that you have leaking/broken/misrouted vacuum lines. The brake light is most likely due to low brake fluid.
Also, a little more info may be helpful. Is this a turbo or N/A? Auto or 5 spd? Also, have you checked for any CEL codes?

The erratic idle could also be cause by a misaligned TPS or a failing IDL switch within it. A code 51 while the car is at idle will give that away. AFM is another possibility.
I'd start with checking for stored diagnostic codes: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTi...ror_codes.aspx

Which engine? 1G-GTE, 1JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GTE? In all of these cases I believe the airflow is determined through the measuring of manifold pressure via a vacuum hose... in which case btwilson86 is dead right, a bad vacuum hose is a very likely culprit.
