First I would download Coconut Battery, because it will present you the battery info in a more readable fashion. The key indicator to look for is "current capacity", because that's what your battery has left of the original capacity (assuming the battery is not simply dead or defective). Your load cycles are high, but that doesn't mean it's not still a good battery.
Did the original AC adapter stop working? Has the 3rd party AC adapter never worked? I wouldn't jump the gun and start buying parts, especially if you've only seen this behavior with the current AC adapter. Try flipping the connector over -- sometimes fidgeting with it a little makes a difference. Also, if there is something in the connector, like a staple, that can cause problems. Sometimes an AC adapter can have a "bad charge", and disconnecting it from the wall, laptop, and extension cable and letting it sit overnight can cause the light on the AC to come back.

But in any case, you're not going to know much until you have a light on the AC connector. If you have an Apple store in your area you can take it in and connect it to an OEM AC and hopefully you'll find out that everything is fine and you just need a new one.
