Default [EDITED] Possible seized caliper?

So was driving around yesterday come back and notice smoke coming from my right rear wheel.. throw some snow on and poooffff big ole cloud.. so today i crawl under her and release the e-brake that was stuck on, cures the problem. now today im driving to work and get home and notice the same dam thing even though my e-brake is released?? i heard it can be a collapsed line so should i crack the bleeder screw? anyone got ideas.

[ just went out there and hit the caliper with my lug wrench and she free'ed up. but it when i free'ed it i noticed the caliper moves a little tine bit back and forth just the middle part and when its pushed back its free, and when you pull it forward it clamps? probably me just being really dumbfounded about brakes. another good reason to upgrade.]
