the squeal when you start is the drive belt, it is slipping on the alternate you have to remember that the starter is the largest load on the battery so when the engine starts the alternator goes into a full output mode so there is a lot of load on the alternator belt right after start up also this probably why you are having a low charge at idle the belt is slipping enough to allow the alternator to slip at low ingoing speeds, take a good look at the belt tensionor and the drive belt best guess is that you will need both a new belt and a new tensionor.......HAVE FUN
The battery/ brake light was caused by the alternator. so make sure the battery is good and good connections. turn the headlights on and be sure they are bright.
Get a volt meter and check alternator voltage at battery while engine running, should have no less then 13.5 volts, if you have good voltage at battery, disconnect battery terminal neg. hook test light at cable (neg) and at battery, make sure every thing is off and door's are close if test light lights up you have a battery draw you'll need to fine short.
