Check your transmission fluid. It sounds like your transmission may have run on empty, and may be fried. Try topping it off with transmission fluid. If this doesn't fix the problem, you may need a transmission rebuild.

Engine stops while trying to park, car jolts when going 35+ mph.

Try replacing the sparkplug wires. These are all common symptoms of bad sparkplug wire on a DIS ignition system. I would also suggest changing the fuel filter. I tell all my coustomers to replace their fuel filter at every 3'rd oil change i.e. 80 to 90K. hope this helps:)

1999 suburban, sort of like something rubbing a wheel, 30 mph or less

This could be a hung up brake caliper piston, have them checked by a tire shop, they are good with brake work and all problems like this one, and in many cases do the inspection for free.

Small drop of antifreeze every morning just under new water pump.

If there is dye in the system, use a black light and look over the entire engine and cooling system. Besides obvious things also look over the entire engine block. There are freeze plugs on the engine block that are designed to "pop" if the coolant ever freezes to prevent engine block damage. These plugs can develop small leaks. This is barring any more likely minor leaks in the the hoses, radiator, reservoir, or other places coolant is circulated like the heater core.

Engine malfunction light came on

As with any check engine light, the only way to find out what the issue is is to have the code read. The dealership can pull the code and let you know what the issue is.
Before considering driving the vehicle to the dealer though, check the obvious: oil level, coolant level, transmission oil level.
If your uneasy, have it towed.
