The only reason the back end feels a little more skittish is because usually when you turn into a corner the front struts flex slightly before turning, with a strut brace on the turn in is a lot quicker. And while you get used to that your likely to turn in faster and sometimes the back end will come out.
BUT the strut brace is only holding the top of the struts in the place they are meant to be and eliminates flexing from cornering stress, it wont cause the back end to skid out - the only things that can do that are low tire pressure, or knackered rear shocks that have gone solid.

It could be a combination of things. It could be that you either might not have enough coolant/antifreeze in the radiator, you have a problem with the radiator itself, or you could need a new thermostat. Take it to a reputable repair shop and get it checked out

I am now getting a very loud sound , like heavy rattling when I start the car cold, I dont know if is a broken muffler or are the timing chain rattling like crazy on start up.
I had that problem and the cause for me was the cam belt tensioner. The noise started happening when the weather turned cold like 35°F or less and the car sat for more than around 3 hrs after being warmed up. The noise sounded hellatious like a bad rod or something.

The problem may be simple, depending on circumstances. Since your driver window still works, i can assume you havent disconnected the battery or run it dead lately.
in any case,try rolling the passenger window all the way down, then HOLDING the switch in the up position until it reaches the top, then KEEP HOLDING it for 5-10 sec after it reaches the top. This reinitializes the window regulator, telling it where the top of the frame is.
If this doesnt do it, try removing the negative battery cable (make sure you have radio code if stock radio) and do this to both driver and pasenger windows after reconnecting the cable. 5 min of work, could sve a bunch of time troubleshooting. good luck.
