Default Need advice on an 09 WS Zetec from dealership

I made a deposit on an 09 WS Zetec from a dealership (Carnet Auctions Smithfield Sydney). After making a deposit I came to realize I might have made a mistake, but this is on another thread.

Anyways, the car was in their warehouse together with hundreds of other cars. it hasn't probably been started for a long time so when we started, the battery was flat dead. they jumped it and it started but

1. after jumping, the car dies on idling, they had to rev for about 5 mins for the car to idle properly. is that because of the dead batts? i thought once started the alternator takes care of everything.

2. from headers to pipe to muffler to outlet: the part between the pipe and muffler has a dripping leak. i can see dark liquid dripping? is that normal? i know exhausts do condense water, but this one condenses water on the exhaust but also drips on the muffler head (near the input part, not the outlet part)
