Charging system problem. Normally this means there is a problem with the alternator.
Is it safe to drive if the battery light is on?
The battery warning light is normally an indication that the battery is not being charged. In most cases, it means that the alternator is not generating electrical power. Driving a car in this condition does not cause any danger but all electrical power is being supplied by the battery rather than the engine. When the battery discharges, the car will simply stop running. Although it is safe to continue for a short time, it's important to get the car looked at and repaired.
Does leaving the car on but not driving it anywhere drain the battery?
If the engine is running, then no. The alternator constantly keeps the battery charged.

Why does the battery light come on while driving even though the alternator is charging the battery?
The alternator may not be charging it enough. With the engine running at an idle check the voltage at the battery with a DC digital voltmeter. It should read from 13.5 to 15.5 Volts. Anymore, or any less, and the alternator is suspect. You might also have a defective battery.
