SOURCE: just put new brake caliper on front driver side

Gravity bleed caliper, just open valve and have a coffee break and close it. Did you buy a loaded caliper with new pads on it? Check the rear wheel cylinders they may be the cause of your mushy pedal. They are cheap too.

I hear a single,solid knock sound coming from the drivers side wheel area when i release the brake prdal and accelerate and when i depress the brake pedal and stop,what few things should i look at?

Possible that the brake pads are loose or broken, possible that there is foreign objects on the calipers or it can be a fault on the calipers, loose fitting.
You need to jack up the front whell and remove the wheels to take a look into the brake section, check the steering joints and also the wheel bearings.

I hear a loud metal on metal noise when i drive over 15 mph from my front tire and sometimes feel vibration under drivers left foot

That sounds like your brake caliper has engaged on the front drivers side and not releasing which has eaten up your brake pads. Suggest you pull the hub and brake pad out and check whether the piston is retracking as it should.

Brakes do not completely release at times,

Might be bad brake lines if front (the rubber ones). When they get old they collapse when you apply the brakes and they won't let the brake fluid go back to the master cylinder until the pop back open.

Vibration/Rattling on right side during high speeds

I had a similar problem. The dealer change automatic transmission and differential, but the noise continu. After research on internet i think the problem is the front galiper who create a vibration on the disc wheel and the vibration frequence follow the front axle until interior car. Just press slowly the brake pedal and if the noise stop , that's it the cause i think. I dont change my galiper, but i have a new transmission . :)))

I have a 1999 jeep cherokee limited 135k miles.. 2wd rear... when i start off and when i stop i hear something like a dragging sound coming from the rear... what could cause this?

It could be your brakes. Jack up the car, put on safety stands, block front wheels at front and back of tires, put Jeep in neutral, try to spin rear wheels, listen for any rubbing, dragging noise. It could either be brakes not releasing (feel the center of the wheel after driving, is it hot?), or a brake component loose and floating around inside the drum. 'Check this 1st, let me know what you find, then we can continue if necessary.

LOUD Sound when releasing brakes

You need an inspection promptly. Without seeing it I'd guess a CV joint.
