Go to a Mazda dealer and get a compression test on your engine, and take a look at your brake pads and fluid. You might need a brake flush.

 

Sounds like a problem with the power brake booster. It's vacuum operated. A leak would kill braking power, and also let more air into the intake. That would cause either stalling or higher power, depending on the ECU's mood.

Best take it to a dealer before you get into a wreck.
