On the face of it, it certainly looks like an alternator problem - barely 13 volts with no load seems low.
I wonder what the v reading is if you leave the engine running, switch on all the lights, fans, A/C etc and then read the battery voltage again. I wouldn't be surprised if its even lower - maybe even drawing current from the battery ....
