My other problem is I bought a cheapy mini Turnigy T5180MG servo which is meant to have 180 degree movement but after connecting it all up it just has the standard movement. Have I got something set up wrong or is it faulty?
You can run two batteries in parallel which just increases the capacity while maintaining the original voltage. I can't find a Dean's style version but this is a Traxxas parallel adapter. If you wire three Dean's plugs in the same fashion it'll work the same.

And for the servo, make sure your end points are set to their highest value
