Did you disconnect the Battery? If so it could be still be relearning. If you haven't disconnected the battery, do it and leave it for a few hours and then reconnect it. Resets the ECU.
As for the vac leak, have you check all your hoses? This can cause fluctuation in idle. Could be a crack or split hose. |

Take your serpentine belt off and see if the noise goes away. Won't hurt the car, just don't try and run it for a long time
 or it might get a little warm with no water pump. Noise could also be the tensioner pulley's.

Depends on how often and how long you drive it for.

Disconnect the ISC, reset the base idle and see how it idles with the ISC diconnected. If it idles OK then reconnect the ISC.
