Take care of the charging system problem first, and you may save a bunch of dough by not buying stuff you don't need.

And I know you said the battery connections are clean, but is the ground to the frame tight and is the ground cable in good condition.(not frayed)?
That heater pulls a lot of juice, and if things are not well grounded all kinds of weird stuff can happen.
Also, you might check to be sure you have a ground from the motor to the frame. If you don't, remember, the engine is rubber mounted and the alternator may not be grounded. I fought with a problem similar to this on my 62 f250 years ago. Not saying your problem is exactly the same, but The ground wire from engine to frame solved my troubles.

can't help you with the other problems you listed,but the engine starting without the clutch pushed in is normal. my 92 does the same thing,and there is no switch to bypass,I checked when I 1st got the jeep,didn't even think about just trying to start it with the clutch out. duh.
