Bad brake light switch and sticky throttle

Ok heres the thing as i idel when i start the car the idel stays around 800 where its supposed to be and as i begin to drive its fine except for when i come to a stop and the ideal stays up and in order for it to come down i have to stick my foot underneath the gas pedal and pull up after i do tht the idel goes back to 800 I cant figure out why the idel stays high. Ive adjusted the throttle cable but it didnt work also rear brake lights dont work but everyother light works turning signals running lights etc. replaced the bulbs already and checked the brake light switch it doesnt seem bad but then again i never had one go out could it just be a bad switch Got any advice ?

Horn working ? (share a fuse)

Next step would be to measure voltage. 1 side should have constant 12 volts, and other side should have 12 volts when pedal pressed.
