Is it my battery dying or something else? 2015 VW Jetta

Hi, about two days ago my car started having issues turning over. The dashboard would light up, and two different ding sounds in different pitches would start playing. I couldn’t turn the lights immediately off so I would have to wait a moment for the car to calm down. I jump started it that night, and it worked. No issues the next morning. Tried starting it again the following night and same problem, only this time jump starting 2 times wouldn’t work. I left it alone for 40 minutes and tried again and it worked. Went to Autozone to get it tested and the battery changed. They told me everything was working fine, and said to get a battery corrosion cleaning kit to try and fix it. Later that night I used the kit and everything worked fine (other than getting some small sparks reattaching the negative terminal). I tried to start it again last night and it wouldn’t start. This video is what u saw it doing last night.

Is this a battery or starter issue, or something else?

Is it okay to use this battery without the plastic wrap thingy

I need this batter for my cyber shot camera but my dumbass thought it’s a sticker or smth and removed it and I’m confused if it’s safe to charge like this or by removing this wrapper thing :(( or do I buy new batteries 💔

Remote Control Car

I bought my son a Disney Pixar’s Lightning McQueen remote control car. In the process of opening it up, he threw away what must have been a way to charge this battery. Does anyone know how I can recharge this or what that type of connection is on the end to search for it? Appreciate any help.
