The brakes hiss when I hit the brake pedal, and there’s no pressure at all. It hardly stops until I put all my weight on it. The rpm’s raise a bit when I hit the brakes, I was thinking maybe a vacuum leak?

Your brake booster isn't boosting. Like another poster said, check the vacuum hose for collapsing or cracks. If there's a problem with the vacuum source, the booster doesn't have anything to work with. If everything is fine, the booster might be bad. they can be a pain to replace, plus expensive, so make sure it really is the booster.
