1. lubricate lever arm for hanbrake on caliper/ don't leave it out in the cold
2. check for debris such as leaves/ change pollen filter if fitted
3. don't drive fast.

Sort the sticking caliper issue FIRST
Make sure your tyres are at the correct pressure

If both of these things dont fix the problem, then get the tracking looked at.
but items #1 and #3 on your list are both on the same side....

should run straight then...
