My only thought is a stuck caliper. Earlier this summer, the car did get put away wet and the rotors rusted a bit and froze to the pads...

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
your rubber? lines between the hard line and the calipers can have issues.
They can swell inside and cause problems with the brakes releasing acting like a stuck caliper.
Or they can soften causing them to swell when you apply the brakes thus less clamping force at the caliper.
From you description:
You may possibly have the second problem.
