All of your issues are well known and are due to battery voltage issues of a failing battery. Buy a new battery, charge it overnight. Clean the terminals and apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (it stops oxidization and is dielectric). Connect wires to the old battery or jump leads or the charger the battery clamps to maintain power during the swap over. Undo and lift off the clamps, clean them with a battery brush. Put Vaseline on them too. Lift the battery out of the tray and keep it close, making sure those wires don't drop off. Put the new battery in and tighten the clamps.
Did the tow company put a fuse in position 37 of the glovebox fusebox? This puts the transfer case into Transfer Neutral for towing. Refer to the Owner's Manual under Emergency Information ->Vehicle Recovery->Towing for Recovery
Your Main Battery is Flat, get a jump start if its safe or remove the battery and hook it up to a charger. Maybe you left your lights on, or your alternator isnt charging the battery properly when your driving around. Sometimes this can be the bushes located in the alternator.
You need to replace the transfer case, the transfer case is bad, replace it, a used transfer case goes for about $200, new one is around $900, takes about 4-5hours to do, and labor is about $80 an hour.
Common for the door lock solenoid to go bad and your going to need to replace it. You may hear it clicking but it's to weak for it to lock and unlock the door.
