My car has 140000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Although I cant fully diagnose this issue with the information provided, I can say that both of the O2 sensors that are after the catalytic converters, should be stable under normal conditions. Your engine load at idle seems higher than normal as well. There are a few things that can contribute to your concern. A certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, will be able to determine the exact cause of your acceleration issue.

Charging system failure.
This may suggest a failing voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is a unit that regulates the charging of the battery (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/battery-will-not-hold-a-charge-inspection) by the alternator.

Hi there - yes, I believe you are correct. Sounds like the diaphragm in the booster has ruptured (https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/-why-is-newly-replaced-brake-booster-making-a-whistling-noise-and-brake-pedal-staying-depressed-by-chris), and is leaking air (to the engine), resulting in little or no brake pedal effort assist. I recommend a brake booster...

Hello - you don't mention the specific problem codes you are getting, but the problem you are having may not be the cam sensor itself (https://www.yourmechanic.com/question/car-is-running-fine-somewhat-but-have-p0345-code-cam-shaft-position-sensor-by-kerry-a). Rather, the problem could be the "v-shaped" timing chain guide between the cylinder banks....
