Starter, or it could be that the problems with your battery have caused it to weaken and it may need replacement. Probably cheaper to try that first.

You may need to replace the starter.

Doubtful, I believe either your diodes are bad in the alt and not charging, battery is fried, or possibly the charging wire on the back of the alt or batteries is broke

If no lights come on, then no it is your alternator again. Else, it could be your starter.

right now it sounds like a bad battery...altenators and batters seem to like to go in pairs... when one is bad it takes the other out with it.
