Hmm, not sure what ur brown bugs are. As for mites, if not mistaken, they do damage to the leaves of your plants. They usually cause your leaves to be very crinkled, scrunched up, and wilted. My eggplant on my farm were infested with mites. I used Kelthane with a couple of drops of dishsoap as a spreader-sticker, pruned all the nercotic leaves, and all is well with my eggplant.
My experiance with the lil bastards is they cause spot's on the leaves and webbing.What your seeing in the soil is not spidermite's I don't think. Next time you use soil put it in the microvave 4 a bit it will kill what ever lil pest's that are in there.
those are not spider mites . could be lots of things , give us more detail and a pic if you could.
whatever you do dont let the problem esculate, go to a hydrophonics store, get some pesticide and dust the little critters making sure that you dust beloe your plant pots (if your growing indoors)
Pests can seriously mess up your plants so nuke them good!
