Have the disc rotors checked for warpage and bad wear. Check that the wheel bearings are in good condition and properly adjusted. Check pad thickness as you may have metal on metal.

Examine your engine mounts and the 'dogbone' at the top right of the engine. The jerking symptoms you describe do sound like a failed mount. The front lower mount is a hydraulic cushion type, and the chief sign of failure is oil leakage from it.
As to the wobbliness and bumpy ride, that sounds like the front suspension struts need replacement. You need good quality spring compressors to try that job yourself.
It is a crude test, but if you can easily bounce the front corners of the car up and down, and it keeps bouncing when you let go, then the struts are worn out.
Front brake rotors need to be turned and new pads. Adjust rear brakes. the front brakes are doing all of the stopping. (overheating the rotors, premature pad wear).
the jerking may be due to uneven braking on either side of the car it may be that a piston is stuck. need to take car off the road remove tyres then brakecalipers a good indication that a piston is stuck is when you disconnect the brake lines and pull pads/caliper of the rotor the piston will be extremely hard to move
