I wonder if your battery is really in an excellent shape. The way you described seem to be non sufficient voltage for the starter solenoid to engage completely. Make a quick observaton by leaving the headlight on while cranking the engine. If no significant drop on the headlight brightness. Then your battery is assumed to be good. (a cold crank voltage shouldn't below 10V) Then the remained items to work with is either the solenoid or the starter or both. I believe the solenoid is piggy pack on the starter. Most autopart stores would test it for free of charge.
Sounds like you've blown the starter relay replacing this should work
While trying to start your car when its already running is bad, it wont do that much damage to it. The clicking in your fuse box worries me though. I would have someone look at it, it sounds as though you are shorting out...
