Driving the car with a damaged battery can hurt the battery more, yes. Is your car manual or automatic? If its has a manual you can wire up a simple circuit to disable assist, which will help prevent further damage to the battery. As to why it has stopped charging, this could be due to the battery's condition, although mine has never stopped charging for an extended period if the battery was not "full".
