Last question first...
That click you hear when you turn the key is the starter solenoid energizing and engaging, or trying to engage the starter gear into the flywheel. Bottom line is the starter isn't receiving enough current to turn over the engine. If in fact the battery is okay, you probably have a loose or corroded connection. Check the battery cables on both ends and make sure the metal is clean and the connections are tight. The (-) should be connected to the passenger side cylinder head and the (+) goes directly to the starter motor. Good luck!
