Default Weirdest, dardest, thing today (LOL)

Funny title, anyways,
my 02 gt was acting funny this morning. Like crazy weird. I go home on my lunch break as I always do, after starting the car I notice the idle is high 1500 or so. Stays there. Turn on headlights, I work third shift, the radio goes on like normal, then I notice it shuts off then on and off ect. Keeps doing it. Looking at it I was like WTF. Put in reverse (5 speed)Kills tbe idle to around 500.Almost stalling.Bawww it sounds like when I hit the gas. Turn it back on, go into first start leaving, BAM ABS light, lights up. Now everytime I hit the gas its the bwwwww sound, when hitting gas and idle everytime I hit the gas goes way down to about 500.
I hit the clutch to go to 2nd and noticed that the idle went crazy in between shifts.So I went to neut. to see what happened and the idle was bouncing from 1500 down to 500 and kept doing it. Up and down up and down. I shut it off after this.
Then restarted, and the car was fine. But did notice everytime I would use the brakes the headlights and interior lights would dim.

So I go to leave ( yea long story huh lol)to get back to work, car wont start. Let it sit a minute it starts, BUT the theft light blinks once, then 6 times. Keeps repeating this now. Can anyone explain this weirdness?
