Huh. And here I usually use my brakes in order to come to a complete stop. Thanks for correcting me on this!
Please tell me the OP's not serious...

Have I done any damage to my car? What could be the possible results of this?

haha WOW!!
at first i was like...SRT...RWD?! WTF? then i saw the smoke pouring out from under the front of the car. the way the rear wheels are blocked makes this video awesome haha! and also, it's pretty sad that no one went up to stop him from f'ing his clutch up.

When I was first learning to drive a stick I was driving my dad's cobra and drove for like 20 miles with the E-brake on 
Nothing came from it though. The E-brake doesn't work quite as well now but serious damage done.

yeah i think you're okay. i once went a whole way around an auto-x course with the e-brake on. brakes squeaked a bit, but nothing serious. since then i've replaced the brake pads, fluid and rotors...but i went around a good 10k miles in between with nothing bad happening.
