I've had for quite awhile now issues with my mouse buttons : when
clicking once, it would act as if i double, even trippled click, while
holding the left button, as for dragging something, something it would
"drop", as if I had quickly released and pressed again the button,
etc...
Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mouse and that I
should just throw it away and buy another, or can it be fixed?

From a typical american consumer point of view, yes do that.
From a french point of view, I don't know? It is easy to
fix on some mice but if you haven't the experience in fixing
it yourself nor an inclination to buy parts besides any for
a mouse then it's not cost or time effective.
Yes it could be fixed, there's a small microswitch soldered
onto the circuit board, usually, so you would simply find a
compatible switch online and swap it... easy to do if you're
used to doing such things, but more time than it's worth if
you're not.

No, I tried messing with the driver, I tried with and without the
driver, and it's still the same..

lol, oh you know, the american and french consumer POV are not as
different as you seem to think.

I wouldn't know how to do that (i didnt even know you could change
parts in a mouse, and I don't see how you'd do anyways) and then it's
only a $15 ass mouse, i just guess I won't try to sell this one and buy
a new one for about $30, but that's still $30 from my pocket, that's
why I wanted to make sure the only buying a new mouse could fix my
problem.

That seems more like the type of thing you would pay to be rid of.
Back to reality: Borrow a mouse from a friend to be sure that a new
mouse will solve your problem. You most likely have a bad mouse, but
you can test that assumption for free if you don't want to risk your
$30. Good luck.
