ther should be a switch that turns on the brake lights when you step on the pedal that could be the cause of the lights staying on.also there could be a problem in the wiring circuit to that system like a bad relay to a bad light blub. your 2nd ques/ is a little hard to understand. the lights wont go on when you use the emergency brakes. get help from a garage. good luck.

The brake light switch is bad, replace it. It is on the brake pedal
