the rear brake foot pedal is an easy fix, i had the same issue on my rancher. you have to pull the pedal off of the shaft and clean it off with some sand paper and put it back on with that pin. it most likely has some mud and crud built up in it.
the part with your cable sounds like a spring isn't working somewhere, on the rear of the bike where the cables go into the brake thing...take it off so it isn't attached to anything then pull the handle, if it works fine the it is the spring assembly on the rear brake that is bad, if it is hard to move or doesn't feel right it's the cable. You can go ahead and replace the cable anyway, I think you can get them online for $5.
