Without being able to see you move, I do not know what the real problem is. Here are my thoughts from reading your post. They might give you a few things to think about and possible send you in the right direction to begin figuring out the solution.
If you've had sciatic pain in your left hip, make sure you are not shifting to your right side when you squat (there's a Squat Rx on that topic). If your right side is the stronger side, then you might rely on it to do more of the work and as a result put it at risk of injury. Since you hurt your right thigh in the recent past, that supports my theory.
Another tack: Foot issues could come from tight calves or plantar faciitis (which is, again, tight lateral quad and tight calf as the source). You could roll the sole of your foot with a small ball (tennis ball, lacrosse ball, baseball) and roll your ITB and lateral quad with a foam roller. It can't hurt and if it helps then you'll know you're on the right track.
It might be some combination of all of the above. It might be something else altogether. I want to stress that I'm really guessing and just throwing out ideas to consider.
