It means to join in and sing the same thing as someone who is already singing.
It's often part of a coaxing invitation. The phrase is often used when a singer is performing in front of an audience, singing alone, and then invites the audience to join in and "sing along" with them on a song.
"Along" carries the idea of singing at the same time, in synchronization, probably in unison.
There is also a noun, "a singalong," which means a group singing event in which people are invited to sing along with a leader.
In the Beatles' song, "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," there is a good example of use:
"I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought you all might like to know
That the singer's gonna sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along."
In the 1960s, bandleader Mitch Miller had a weekly television program called "Sing Along with Mitch." He really wanted people, in their living rooms, to sing along with the program on their television set. The chorus--"the gang"--sang simple songs in a simple way.
It would be natural to say "When I was a teenager, I loved [so-and-so]; I used to buy his records and sing along with them."

It can mean 2 things, depending on the context.
It can mean sing with me
It can also mean to sing along as the song is playing.

Yes. For example in children shows the character will sing a song and they will say “sing along”. This tells the viewer to sing with them in the cartoon
