You may have a couple of things going on.
Because the lights go on when you turn on the key, my first guess is that either the ignition switch is bad or the wiring from the ignition switch has been damaged. This could possibly be the source of the battery drain because circuits that are normally dead wen the ignition is off might not be switched off.
Then again, (for the battery drain, anyway) the brushes in the alternator that transfer current from the slip rings in the alternator to the rest of the electrical system could be worn down beyond their service limit. Given the relatively low mileage, that's a long shot.
As long as the heat shield (between the catalytic converter and the floor pan) is intact, I'd put my money (what's left of it, anyway) on the ignition switch. If it's rusted away, there may be some wires with damaged insulation.
