The `\begin{align}' control sequence automatically introduces math
mode, so there is no need to enclose it in `$' symbols. This also
means that you cannot use `$' inside an `align' environment without
escaping it. That explains the error message. You may want to see
the examples in the "User's Guide for the `amsmath' Package". If you
are using `teTeX', you could do that with the command `texdoc
amsldoc'.

You can try `tex-mode' instead of `AUCTeX'. You can do that an
expression like this in your Emacs startup file:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.tex\\'" . tex-mode))
