Can replacing shocks and struts fix an alignment?
Shocks and struts are more for the ride not the alignment. Tie rods, ball joints and how the front end is adjusted are the alignment. Jack the front end of the car off the ground. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and see if it wiggles. If it does, that is the ball joints. Grab the sides and do the same. That is the tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm or drag link on rear wheel drive. Tie rods or the steering rack on front wheel drive. Having someone wiggle the wheel while looking at the steering linkages should let you see which part is worn.

Is it normal to need to replace tie rods on 1996 Ford Aerostar van almost every year and why do they keep breaking?
No it is not normal for the tie rods to break frequently. It is common for them to wear out early and if you replace them with cheap units they may fail again soon. I suggest that you spend the money and take it to a garage that specializes in front end work and have them install quality parts. I like Moog or Napa's best parts. I just did my front tie rods on my 1996 and had them install Moog parts, the Moog parts cost 2x as much as the cheap parts yet will last at least 2x as long. I only replaced the outer tie rod ends this time, did the inner tie rods 2 years ago. The outer tie rods (Moog) were $35 each side, Cheap ones were less then $20
