After releasing brake pedal, one brake is still partly on. ABS light is on as well, but unsure if related

Likely a sticking caliper that needs replaced also have ABS scanned for codes when light on ABS is deactivated. And you may need that feature someday

I have already replaced the caliper, and have scanned the ABS with no codes returned. The sensor stated that my vehicle did not supprt the ABS scanning feature
