Have your electrical wirings checked. You might have an electrical ground somewhere.

I swear every househould needs a simple volt meter. Set the meter @ 20 volts and with the test leads test the battery.
A fully charged battery should test 12.5 volts. 13.5 - 14.0 with the motor running. Charge the battery four hrs. @ 2 amps with an automatic battery charger. If you don't see 12.5 volts it's battery time. If you're not getting a charge back voltage above the alternator is suspect. OEM low dollar batteries have a 4 - 6 yr. life expectancy.

Yes replace battery, sounds like your battery wont hold a charge.
With regards to your tail lights, sounds like a switch is still on. You shouldn't have to take out the fuse for the tail lights.

No. It's not the battery. Try buying a new fuse first.

Have the battery checked for free at your auto parts store.

REPLACE THE BATTERY AND CHECK THE FUSE, ALSO CHECK THE BULBS.
