I would say that your first problem is that you have an American car, but I'd be a smartass if I said that, wouldn't I?
When I've had alternator problems in the past, a jump would start the car and it would run fine, but it wouldn't start again after that. I don't really have any other suggestions, but I hope you get it figured out soon and it doesn't cost tons of $$$ to repair.
