What a fricken joke. I took my car for a slow test drive around the block and my brakes barely
worked. I could barely press down on the brake pedal. And I heard a fairly loud whistling sound the entire time. Guess time to look for vacuum leaks?

That's about all the whistling could be and makes sense with your issue:
Without the power brake assist unit, you'd have ordinary manual brakes - like we had in the "old days." You have to stand up and stomp on those mothers to make them work. So, I'm betting on a loose, broken or removed vacuum line to the power brakes.
