So, If you are serious I believe your issues have been answered.
1. The engine is the same engine in an E class as an S Class. There may be a legitimate reason for one to be swapped out ( I had one swapped out on my old E class when the Camshafts snapped - it was cheaper than getting the engine repaired) as long as the job has been done properly and the engine number matches that in the Registration Document - no problems.
2. If your engine is not starting as easily as it should then that is another issue and appropriate diagnostics need to be applied.
3 Asfar as the brakes are concerned, you did not have an accident so you and your family have not been harmed physically. You might though, have a case against the seller on the grounds of an unroadworthy car.
Clearly you have not much experience or done much research on Mercedes so perhaps a check out on some of the more informative articles on here would help you.
