Sounds like you have a stuck caliper on the rear, and brake pads worn out. Replace caliper, pads and most likely rotors.

Why noise in car when pressing on gas pedal grinding

It's the car pulling to that side? Sticking brake pad possible. When did you have brakes done last off at all? Front brakes go out twice as fast as rear brakes. If you can Charlie jack up that side put car in park, set emergency brake and chock rear tires. Pull off that tire and see if rotor is grooved or scored badly. It may have been sticking and wore down faster. Also check CV BOOT. If torn u joints get dirty and will grind. Hope this was some help.

Intermittant screeching noise by rear passenger side

Your description makes me worry. If you have a strange, unknown screeching noise coming from the right rear wheel and now there is a burning smell. Please stop using it and have it looked at as soon as possible. There are a few things that could be the cause of these symptoms. Wheel bearing failure, seized brake caliper or frozen caliper sliders, damaged brake line, seized E-brake cable, or improperly installed brake-pads. In any case, if you continue to drive this car, with these symptoms. You may cause a break-down (requiring a tow), or cause a fire. Let me know if I can answer any other questions or how the repair goes, good luck.

Front tire smoking, steeting wheel sharking, brakes locking up

Having this happen on both front brakes makes me think you have a bad master cylinder. What work have you done to it prior to this problem?

Back wheels smells like they are burning and its making a weird noise in the back

Could be brakes pads/shoes are worn out, brake drum/rotor grinding from metal to metal contact. Or a bad brake caliper. Parking brake could be on. Or rear wheel bearings.
