My car died last Monday so I got a new battery since I was told the battery was bad when I got it checked. The next day it died again so we checked my alternator, which ended up being bad. We went to auto zone to have my battery charged, left it there for 3 hours and then never charged it so we just took it in hopes it would have some kind of charge, it did. It's been running fine since until this morning when the battery light came on again and the a/c just starting blowing hot air.

I would check all earth wire on your car , as it sounds if there is a bad earth wire or a broken one ., this would explain your battery going flat and the flat battery would probably cause your problem with the steering as it will probably be an electric steering pump
There is a diode in the alternator that you fried the instant you disconnected the battery....go get a new alternator. This was an acceptable test on much older cars, but not these days......
Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.
