I have a Lexus IS 350 2007 and I heard some people saying that it's better for the engine if I press the brake before changing transmission. Is that true?!

When changing from Neutral to Drive, you should press the break. This is to prevent long term damage to the gearbox. However, as far as I know, there you can change back to Neutral even while the car is moving.

Some vehicles are made so that the shift lever won't move unless you depress the brake pedal.

Yes and its safer. You car might lurch forward if you don't have your foot on the brake.

Yes, if you want your transmission to last 50,000 miles.
