Driving lost power then it kind of surged forward and revved up when I wasn't on the throttle. Lost all power steering. Cranked over really roughly the first couple times I tried. Now it will crank over but it will not start.

Also, it's been acting really funny with the signal lights not working then working all of a sudden. Radio lights not coming on as well. But after driving it for a but they start to work.

It sounds like the battery is shorting out internally, if the battery is more than 3 years old, I would remove it and have it tested at the auto parts store or follow this guide to see if that is the problem:
