Sounds like a line's popped somewhere and brake fluid p*ssed onto a hot engine = smoke

Just my two cents

If your brakes have 'returned' it sounds like someone hit the nail on the head earlier, a binding caliper boiled up the fluid causing massive fade. The pedal would sink and require pumping to get any pressure. The smoke was probably your pads burning.
