Morning,
Never had a brake booster, hose or check valve go bad. I seem to recall that the check valves very occasionally go bad on old 240’s. A bad booster hose would certainly cause vacuum issues and consequently brake performance issues. Would also affect engine air mixture. I really don’t know if a bad hose would cause both your brake and running issues??

Did you set the brake fluid at the correct level? Found the link below educational.
