No, that is not how that works. The limiting factor is the tire/road interface. Brakes are significantly more powerful than an engine at full throttle, let alone idle. Think about how hard you have to hit the brakes to keep the vehicle from moving at a stop light. It ain't much.

Yes, but brakes are not your friend when traction is limited.

They are if you want to stop. That's what ABS is for, maintaining rolling friction and control while slowing as much as possible.
