I think you should figure out #1 first. It may be the cause for all your issues.
#1 sounds like a parasitic draw on the electrical system. Get a multi-meter at your local radioshack/auto-parts store. You can get a good one for less then $30. Then perform a parasitic draw test. When you figure out which circuit post back up and let us know. With that info we can help figure out where to go next. Probably a short somewhere. Good luck...

I usually skip past poor written thread but it sounds like you need some help.
Sorry but I find your post hard to read.
From all that I took one thing.
This is not a parastic draw. You need a multi meter to at least narrow down if you are charging or not charging.
Check the voltage after charging the battery.
Check it with it running. Should be higher.
Check it after it will not restart.
Then report back with your voltage numbers.
