Exclamation HELP, car won't start, possibly altenator- and other questions...

Okay, since i've been driving htis thing, i've had this light on on my dash. it looks like a car with its rear lights on. I don't have any idea what it means, but i think it may be an indicator of my problem...

This will be the second time my car won't start. The battery and check engine lights came on and then i notices that the battery charge indicator was at the edge of the blue. This happened before and i knew when i turned my car off. I assumed it was the altenator the first time, but the mechanic thought it was the starter and replaced it instead. The car worked fine, but its literally 1 week after he replaced the starter with a brand new one. So, my question is- 1) what's the problem. is it really the altenator. 2) what's the light mean. 3) what shoudl i do. 4) do you recommend replacing hte altenator DIY or mechanic. Thanks alot for your help. I'm stuck at school. Thank God my dad got a towing package...only problem is HE has to be here...
