Sitting Bull was not the battle leader of the Native Americans at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. He was present but was an older man. If anyone should be credited, it would be Crazy Horse, the Lakota chief whose flanking cavalry maneuver completed the annihilation of Custer and his troops.

General Custer had his permanent rank of Lieutenant Colonel restored following the Civil War. It is not uncommon to refer to a Lt.Col. as "colonel." Custer was usually addressed as "General" respecting his Civil War service at that temporary rank.
