weird sqeak going on...

okay so I think it's about time to replace my brake pads, when I lightly push on it i hear that "screee" sound. at first it was very very light and only once in a long while but now when i slow down it's a little bit more noticeable.
being that if it is indeed time to replace my brake pads, i have another question to ask you guys.
only at slower speeds (between 5mph and 20mph) sometimes when I drive regardless if im turning or just driving straight, I hear a sqeak sound, its a lot more noticable than the "stopping-sqeak" so do you guys think it's because of the pads and they need to be changed or what?. it's not a harsh sounding sqeak it just sounds like something needs to be lubed, as if the axle or something itself is sqeaking but I don't want to jump to conclusions, my guess is it has something to do with the brake pads needing to be replaced?
any advice or info please let me know, thanks.
-- sidenote. when i brake now my steering wheel generally pulls a bit .. any one know the cause of that. ?

but some people told me today at school that the brakes or something have this metal thing thatll screech like that when it comes time or close to time to change the brake pads.
