I suggest you examine the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. When you apply the brakes they become hot, and transfer heat to the brake fluid, which expands. If the brake fluid level in the master cylinder is too high, the brakes will drag.

If your bike has the standard, Chinese brake caliper, the squeeking is caused by uneven wear on the round brake pads. You can stop the squeeking by using a hacksaw, or a Dremel tool to remove the raised portion on the rear of the brakes pads.
