The latch closes when you close the door, and the door locks automatically after you put the car in drive and start to go. it sounds like you could have a malfunctioning latch or and adjustment problem. The window issue is a little vague, it could possibly be an electrical problem such as a bad ground in the door or switch on the door panel. Was the car wrecked? Did someone go into the door to repair the window problem, and possibly leave something loose? IS the latch or striker {on the "B" post} out of adjustment? Are the door hinges worn? Look for wear on the striker that the door closes onto. Look for wear on the little hook catch in the door latch. Take a screw driver with the door open and engage the latch to see if it locks in place. You can unlock it after by operating the exterior handle. Does the door when opened have some verticle movement up or down that might show some wear of the hinges? Are the hinges mounted properly to the "A" post, or is there some looseness or un-welded seams? Re-post the results of your findings and I'll look for it when you do and try to help you with an answer. Good Luck.
