Well, I replaced the brushes and assembly. The old brushes were only about a quarter inch from the plastic, which I consider pretty worn. Installed the new unit, cleaned up the leads with solvent (old grease), scrubbed terminals and leads, and reapplied some corrosion protectant (red spray kind).

Car started find, drove for 10 minutes, turned off, started again fine 2x. The voltage coming from the alternator is about 13.87V with the AC on. Checked the battery voltage and it was about 12.8V. I'm waiting to see if the voltage on the battery drops off, since I'm afraid I fried it a bit after so many jump starts (5).

I'll keep watching for starter/heat issue. Thanks again everyone for your assistance.
