This important part is right at the end, you have a well!! It sounds like you may have run it dry? Check the well and the pump first. The rest is stop valves and pipes to the tank and beyond and not likely to be causing issues. Your sediment issues and problems with the anode is also due to using well water which is nearly always loaded with minerals..
If your commode is refilling over and over, you may have a Ghost Flushing problem. Even though there's no water on the bathroom floor, you likely still have a slow leak somewhere in the tank. To locate and identify the source of the leak fill the tank and shut off the water to the commode. Remove the tank lid and draw a pencil line along the top edge of the water line. Leave the water turned off and go back several times and redraw the pencil line at the water line. When the water stops draining see where the water level is. If the water has stopped just below the overflow tube, you likely have a siphoning problem. If the water drains to the bottom of the tank you likely have a flapper problem.<br />To correct the siphoning problem reset the the depth of the fill tube in the overflow tube. Fill the tank up, shut the water off, and recheck after some time. Repeat these steps until the water stops draining.<br />To correct the flapper problem gently lift the flapper and clean the bottom of the flapper and the flapper seat. Refill the tank, shut the water off, and recheck later. If water still leaks replace the flapper.
It's hard to answer such a general question. I will assume your reference refers to a toilet, and that 'pulse' is regards a recurrent slight refill action of the tank fill valve. If this is the case the cause is probably a slowly leaking flush valve. When the tank water level drops enough to activate the fill valve, there will be a slight refill action (pulse) to top up the tank water level. It will repeat until the leaking flush valve is fixed.
I had the same problem one time with my toilet tank, the answer is to put some silicone on the seal washer between the take and bowl assembly and to use a level on the tank to tighten it just enough to be level and not leak.

If the leak is from the tank itself, no you can not fix it. If it is a supply pipe and the leak is visible, in most cases yes. I would recommend you have this issue resolved very soon. If the tank has sprung a leak, it will be a matter of time before the leak becomes a flood.
Adjust the water level in the tank to the water level line in the tank. If the water is spilling into the open tube in the center of the tank, that will cause the water to run.
If water is not seeping into the tube, then maybe water is leaking through the rubber stopper and into the tank. You will have to replace that rubber stopper
If you're sure it's the DRAIN, just get a garden hose cap for it (your other option is to replace the valve - drain tank, replace valve, refill).
NEVER CAP THE RELIEF VALVE DRAIN!
