Is it ok to use my emergency brake for awhile to help the car to slow down? Will get my foot brakes next week

A lifter is getting tired. You didn't use thicker oil because some idiot told you it was better did you? Mechanics love to make oil pressure better by using thicker oil.

Roughly how much does an alternator cost for a 2001 Dodge Neon?

Its a starvation of oil circulating around the engine.Most 16v engines have this problem.If the noise fades after warm up,then there is no problem.If there was excess ware on the cam shaft or followers then the noise would not go away.Nothing to worry about,it is a characteristic of the engine.
