That's a well-equipped car, there. Air conditioning, disc brakes, remote control sideview mirrors, etc. Take a look at the inner fender (under the hood) on the driver's side, and you'll find a metal tag about 2" by 3", stamped with a bunch of letters and numbers. Post a good, clear, close-up, sharp photo of that tag (or copy down the stampings carefully and post them here exactly as they appear on the tag) and we can give you much more info on where and when the car was built, and with what equipment.
Those brakes should not be "weak". The pedal will be harder to push than you are probably used to, because this car does not have power-assisted brakes. But you should not have to stand on the brake pedal to stop the car; if you must, there's something the matter (quite likely some seized pistons in the front disc brakes, particularly if the car's been sitting a long time, as sounds like the case).
Cold-start issue is carburetor, choke, and/or tune-up related. Carb kit info provided in your other thread. Choke adjustment info is here. Tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this thread. Your engine requires periodic valve adjustment. Be sure and get these three books as quickly as you can.

Don't get this obsessive about it. The only cars on which it matters that the headlamps and turn signal bulbs are factory production items are the multimillion-dollar trailer queens. Your car will never be one of those, nor should it be. Think very carefully before you make any modifications that would be difficult or costly to reverse, but don't fret about installing new turn signal bulbs or headlamps, fan belts, hoses, or whatver. Drive and enjoy.
