Sounds like a bad connection in the cranking circuit i.e. battery to body or
solenoid, and body to engine.  The fan belt and alternator are irrelevant when
cranking as the alternator only starts to charge when the engine is running
and has been revved over 900 or so rpm.

A tendency to stall when the brakes are applied usually means there is a
defect *inside* the brake booster resulting in a vacuum leak when the brakes
are applied.  If the leak were anywhere in the plumbing between manifold and
booster it would be affecting the running of the engine all the time.
