No the EGR valve has nothing whatsoever to do with the brakes. It is an emissions control device.

-But since it could affect a little the idling rate of the engine, and since the engine when idling generates more vacuum that by its turn assists the vehicle brakes force needed to act on the pedal, indeed it could "affect the brakes" a little. Not directly; as I described the driver would need to press harder on the pedal to get same breaking results as he/she is used to, maybe leading to some sort of dangerous situation.
