I'll try the relay bit this evening, just to test it out.

The ordinary mechanic not familiar with MB might not have known about the speed sensor and its function.
However, I assume you had the AC problem both before and after the alternator was replaced.
The tensioner is troublesome and they might not have been able to adjust the belt properly.
For the drains, get a piece of wire (like a coat hangar wire) and GENTLY push it up in the drains. Gently because the hoses are nothing but a spring wrapped in foam.
