Pink discoloration and vertical lines in light areas

Possibly a form of flare caused by including the light source in the image.

My zoom is not working properly.. shuts itself off

Never leave battery in the camera, it gives out fumes that can ruin electronic circuits. You may have to replace the motherboard.

What could be the cause and solution to battery drain on my Olympus FE-110?

You've likely got a problem with the internal battery sensing hardware. I had a similar problem with a small Canon and solved it by getting a new camera for way less money that having the old one fixed.

Does reformatting the micro sd flash drive removes

Yes. Formatting the card is the best way to clear the card for further use, AFTER you transfer all the pictures to your computer.

Do digital cameras work without software?

If you mean software on a computer, absolutely. Digital cameras work fine when not connected to a computer.If you mean in the camera, then no. All digital cameras have a processor of some type inside and this processor needs some programming. This programming can be in the form of hardware, firmware, or software.

I have just bought an Olympus fe-280 without the install disk for laptop and I am unable to download from Olympus website. Can anybody help?

You don't need any software to use your camera.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.

Battery button broke

Well, you might try a jeweler to do the tiny work inside your camera. The other place, besides the Factory, would be a Camera repair place. Look in your local phonebook.
