Just EXACTLY what leads you to believe that it is not working like "it's supposed to" ? :??:
Relative to pedal movement, that cable DOES move just a tiny bit.....and when everything is "released", the cable may feel like it has a bit of slack in it 'cause that rear lever doesn't provide much pull to keep it taught.
You could have this impression because your brake adjustments are WAY out of whack.
With everything put back together:
How much travel is there on the rear lever before the brake engages?
How much travel on the pedal before engagement?
There would have to be a LOT of crud inside the cable for it to be sticking, I think, as it appears to have a lot of slop between the cable and the sheath.
That little tear in the boot likely isn't really a problem AND I bet you can't get a new one without getting the whole brake cable.
