A dragging brake can be caused by heavily corroded brake lines ( they will squeeze but not fully release), a broken pad surface or a seized caliper ( in this case a stuck piston). If it's dragging, you would PROBABLY notice a pull to that side occasionally. It's worth investigating as it could suddenly get worse and something could break.

The right side of a Box (or any car) is lighter than the left because the driver is in the left hand seat. So, unweigheighted right side will lose traction before the left side. Pretty simple. If the brake is dragging, usually you will notice a definite pull to one side in any braking condition, not at the edge when ABS kicks in.
