side rear rotor was starting to glow red and smoking.

Brother!  Welcome.

I see there are caliper rebuild kits - does this usually fix what causes a
sticking caliper or should I buy a new one?

It's messy, but I think a rebuild will do the job.  The other (and
in fact, more) usual suspect for a one-sided drag is an aged rubber
brake hose.  If one's doing this it's probably time to change them all.

Also, what else should I look
at/replace that may have been damaged from the excessive heat? I am thinking
perhaps the bearing?

I myself am planning to assume that mine are still OK, especially since
rear bearings are no walk in the park.
