The trench that runs around the perimeter of the basement is dry except for the south wall. That trench always has water in it, but doesn't overflow when its rainy and wet. The crock has 3 holes that empty into it. The lowest hole seems to always have water flowing from it, slowly. The other two do too, but not as much ,but they sit higher in the crock. Is the water in the south trench normal or could something be blocked? I am not sure how the whole "floating slab" thing works.

To the best of my knowledge, a slab can be the foundation of a building (poured slab, then blocks built on top of it) or it can be independent of the building (footing poured which supports the building, and a slab poured within the four walls). My guess is that you have either a high water table, or a naturally-occurring spring. Your foundation appears to be properly waterproofed. Use a dehumidifier down there to keep the potential for mildew down.

as long as you have a masonry bit in the drill, you will be waiting to drill some holes earlier the battery gets drained. A drill with greater voltage could drill greater holes earlier the battery ran down, yet i think of you would be pleased with 14.4 volts.
