I am not sure about the 2nd issue but I'm willing to bet the horn problem was the contacts on the horn relay on radiator support being closed all the time. Did you hear a bunch of clicking? Anyway, the circuit was closed and disconnecting the horns did not stop the circuit and that drained the battery.
Did you recently do anything to the horn relay? I found that if you accidentally reverse the 2 black power wires to it (because they look the same) the relay starts clicking away without pushing the horn button. Or possibly the relay went bad?
And congrats to you and your wife.
