Hi,
The alternator appears to be the correct replacement. As far as the temperature sensor is concerned, no, that wouldn't cause this to happen.
I wish I could hear it. Could it be the belt? Try this. When it is making the noise, pour a small amount of water on the belt to see if the sound changes. Just protect yourself from water flinging.
Also, I found the idle speed is too low. In gear, it should be between 720 and 920 (see pic below). The low idle could be caused by a couple of things such as a dirty throttle body, the idle air control valve, a vacuum leak, and so on.
Let me know what happens with the water test.
