Whistle could be an air leak in the intake air duct from the air box to the throttle body. Shaking would be lean misfires if that is the case.
Or it is possible it's an exhaust issue, partial blockage could cause a whistle as well.

Pedal bleeding off could be a second bad master cylinder. I have had to go through two or three on some vehicles because they just do not care when they rebuild them anymore.
