I really need some help. Car died on me

I have a 1993 190e 2.6liter 6cyl
I started the car and the battery seemed weak when starting. I replaced the battery 2 years ago. As I'm driving within minutes the gauge lights inside seemed dim as did the outside headlights. Then my abs and other idiot lights flashed while driving. That scared me. I had to park and turn the car off. The car started back up 10 minutes later but battery seemed weak again. Lights were dimmer. Abs and srs (maybe a mistake) lights came on. My radio shut itself off. I knew the car was going to die and it did. I had to push it a long way and luckily some nice people helped me. The battery did not have enough power to close the windows or move the windshield wipers. I will have to have AAA tow it to my house tomorrow (around 7 miles). It sounds like the alternator or the voltage regulator to me. Has anyone had similar symptoms? Any advice? How hard is it to replace an alternator or voltage regulator on my year and model car? I'm handy with a wrench but I'm not a mechanic. I really would appreciate any and all answers. Thanks in advance
