That's too close to the rim if that is how they are at rest and you should revisit your straddle cable angle/height. #1 and 4 are still definite first steps here, but 5 is a maybe depending on your answer to the question.
Regarding brakes pulled, no this is with them released. When I had them further away from the rim it didn't brake at all. I'll check the straddle cable angle/height and see if that needs adjusting. See pic's below if that tells you anything more.

Front brake


Rear brake
