Why do my revs go up when I brake?

The brake booster improves the master cylinder setup utilized to lower the pedal pressure required for braking. If the brake booster has a leakage, it allows additional air into the intake manifold. As a result, the air enters the engine and causes the revving.

Can a vacuum leak cause idle surge?

If an engine is not getting enough fuel (this is called “running lean”), due to fuel pressure (regulated by the fuel pump and regulator), restricted fuel injectors, a vacuum leak or really anything that throws off the fuel mixture going in to the engine, this can cause the surge.
