The footnote in the FSM says "*: Adjustment range of power generation voltage variable control is 11.4 - 15.6 V." I don't know that it can be adjusted but it sure sounds like it can.

15.1-15.3V running, if I disconnect the negative battery lead it jumps to 16V

That is less than .1 volts across 6 cells. It should be fine until I can get a replacement this weekend.

Can anyone verify that you get a brake lite with the battery lite? I need to know if this is normal!

Or do I have two problems.

Brake light is probably low fluid level in reservoir. 370Zs seem to be real picky about the level. Fill it to the top mark.

I don't think the two are related but can't swear to it.

Beg/borrow/steal an OBD scanner and the car should tell you what is wrong.
