You might be happier with a converter to be your main charger and your float charger, sounds like. It can also run the DC 12v stuff with no batteries at all.
Yes the 45a is what a 45amper can do in total. The batteries get what is left out of that 45 after the other loads are taken care of.
It just a money and convenience thing. A float charger is maybe $30 and a bigger charger is maybe $70. Or you can get a converter for say $130 or so that does both jobs.
If you already have a battery charger lying around, then you can just use that and get more value from it. Whatever works! :)
