Hi - the fuel pump icon comes on when your Civic is very low on fuel - basically less than a gallon. The "battery" light comes on when the alternator is not charging, which could cause system voltage to drop enough for poor engine performance. I would check the serpentine belt that drives the alternator to see if it is worn or slipping, and the battery condition as well. For assistance, I recommend a electrical charging system inspection performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
