Was the alternator light on at the time? Was he even watching for it?

Could be all sorts of alternator failures, and could also be the fusible
links on the alternator too. Do you measure voltage at the alternator
terminals? If so, the alternator is connected properly to the battery.
If you disconnect the battery and stick an ammeter onto it, can you
see if something is discharging the battery? One of the more popular
regulator failure modes will show up with the alternator discharging
the battery.
If the alternator is connected to the battery but does not put out enough
current to charge the battery or operate the car, it is bad.

It doesn't matter. They should have basically the same configuration and
the same issues. If yours turns out to be bad, take it to the dealer
and get a replacement.

If the engine control has been running without proper supply voltage,
all hell will break loose and you will get a million codes registered.
You can ignore all of them. They are all symptoms of the low voltage
and not the cause of it.
