Failing voltage regulator can cause the flickering. The regulator is in your alternator, so it'd require a new one
Usually when an alternator goes out, it's been going out, and will take the battery out with it.
So, it's possible you'll be needing to replace both in the future
The thing moving is belt tensioner, it's designed to move like that
For noise in the serpentine belt area, I take a silicone based lubricant and spray each bearing until the noise shuts up. If you spray a bearing and it shuts up, that's it

After your guys' suggestions, here's what I bought.
Thanks!
I use wd-40 silicone spray lubricant on all things that are sealed with rubber (doors, windows, sunroofs ...)
It leaves a very very thin layer that soaks a little bit into the rubber and also protects it. It does not destroy paint and is easily applied in spray form.
I usually spray whatever I have handy, most often CRC eletronics cleaner or WD40 brand silicon spray which is awesome because its got built in nozzle that doesn't fall off...

Anyways I spray something just to get hardened dirt a bit moist, or in general any liquid will help cut down on friction ... spray motor, then point datavac into motor best I can, not using any attachments or anything and then start rotating motor back and forth. I try not to force, like I'll just start turning other direction if it gets stuck a little... just back and forth is the goal.
Combination of lube + airflow + rotation to sorta nudge stuff / change direction of airflow on a piece of dirt, usually after like 30s motor is pretty dirt free. If after 30s it still can feel dirt, like my lazy side will make me just to force rotation more... might scratch up stuff but will also break up whatever little rocks or whatever stuff is stuck in there. Just try to avoid it as much as possible but in the end motor is like $20... not worth babying it.
I'm reading petroleum jelly will dry out o-ring if it's rubber (not sure what mine is, haven't looked)
I do have WD-40 or this silicone spray. I'm thinking maybe the silicone spray?
Pure silicone lubes are absolutely edible, as it is considered one of the most inert chemical substance in the world.
[inert = lazy = no reaction = zzzzzz.....]
To get a grasp of how safe it is, just consider this: it is commonly used in surgical treatment of (eye) retinal detachment, and breast implant (enlargement).
For top medical grade / personal lube, its ingredient should contains no more than these 3 (Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone/Cyclopentasiloxane), else it is not pure.
It should be no colour (transparent), no taste, no smell.
Do dot confuse it with industrial grade silicone lube available from your local hardware store (https://www.amazon.ca/WD-40-300014-Specialist-Resistant-Lubricant/dp/B00631GSSI), which is NOT edible.

That seems to be something in the tilting mechanism. It may be that the spring inside there has lost its lubrication. Try adjusting the tension if the tilting to see if that changes anything. Also to lubercate it I would try a spray lubricant. Like this or anything similar https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00631GSSI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dhASybSCX03CF
