This could be a number of things depending on what the previous owner did to it.
Pictures of the car from a side view and also pictures of the rear suspension will help to identify the problems, if there are any.

Please explain this one to me. Air shocks have a tube that is open to the atmosphere. You do not fill these. If you are referring to air bags, then it is a different story. Gas shocks are similar to air shocks only they are sealed to keep in the gas because it performs differently than the normal atmosphere.
Air bags replace the springs, so filling those would raise the rear ride height, however they are not stock and I doubt the OP has them. The car sits on the springs, the shocks do not govern ride height.
