Have I done enough to have diagnosed a faulty alternator, and can proceed to buy a replacement and swap it? Anything I should check first before I start replacing it?

Also, if I drive it without anything on (12.44v), will that be ok? Few 8 mile journeys to work, pick up an alternator etc?
yes you have done enough it seems , you can drive it but you must charge the battery at home as much as possible , there is quite a drain from the electrics when driving .. the powersteering pump takes a lot of current for example .
