shorting out a fuse is pretty redundant and doesn't actually mean anything electrically
But yeah, a defective headlight stalk can cause only one headlight to work. I had a friend who just had that same problem earlier this week and it was fixed by replacing the headlight stalk.

probably have two separate problems going on there
one headlight problem is the headlight stalk (take off the plastic piece surrounding the steering wheel by removing 5 or so screws going into the bottom and then the plastic will snap off, then you'll see a couple screws holding the stalk to the steering column)
tail lamp fuse blowing is probably due to rusted/corroded tail light sockets or wires. Inspect the sockets. I fixed mine by just using some electrical tape to cover up a wire that had corrosion on it and was shorting to ground.
