Hi there, welcome. Perhaps you could pull the ABS fuse, take it for a (short and careful) drive and see if it still does it.

Welcome Alex! 
I can't remember the front caliper setup, is it on sliding pins? I've had a similar fault on the rears in the past and it was the sliders corroded & sticking.

Re: grinding front brakes
I would jack the car and with the wheel off, spin the hub using a copper pipe over one stud, and get an accomplice to lightly brake, so you can see whats rubbing.
