Assuming you had the car on a battery tender or have a new battery (that is, no issues with the battery) this sounds like an ignition switch problem. See this thread.

Clutch, could be a lot of things, from throwout bearing to worn friction surface, etc. But need more info.

How many miles on the clutch?
Slips while in gear and uphill with load? (And, if so, how do you know?)
Slippage only when car is hot?
Did the slippage start recently (is it related to the "rattle")?
Does the car shift smoothly or are gears harder to get in/out of?
