I assume that the Right rear tail light DOES work when the lights are off.
I would clean up the ground connection for the tail light. This would be classic bad ground. Follow the black wire from the light cluster down to where it is bolted to the chassis. Unbolt, and polish up all the mating surfaces. Remember, the parts you can see don't matter - that's not where the current flows. The current flows on the mating surfaces you do see. A little fine sandpaper should do the trick. That should also fix the pictogram.
If that doesn't fix the four-way flasher, it might be the switch. The four-way flasher uses the same relay as the turn signals - if the turn signals work, the four-ways should. But I've seen the emergency flasher switch get intermittent. So chase one problem at a time.
