Somethings wrong with the fan I think. It's almost like a dw when I'm parked or idling whatever. And when i hit the brakes and right before i come to a complete stop, there's this sound like something drops and hits something else. Its hard for me to describe. I'll try to record it next time I drive.

This may be a stupid question for me to ask, what's dw? And as far as the other noise when your braking, there's a high chance it's one of the mount bushings for the front differential assembly, I've see more than a few go bad in that model and that's the noise it makes

No the check engine light isn't on. I don't think its the engine that's shaking. It's the force from the fan that's doing it. Almost seems like the fan is struggling to turn.

Misfire due to worn out spark plugs or a bad ignition coil. I'd have a shop check the plugs

A missfire is pretty easy to tell whether thats the problem or not. Does it feel like your car has a rhythmic jerking to it during acceleration under light throttle? Like, major hesitation?
