To me without looking at your car, it does sound like a starter problem. A possible starter solinoid on your starter. Better to replace the whole starter.
When engine won't start check battery voltage with a volt meter, at least 12 volts.check connections at starter. and yes rapping the starter with a hammer is a good starter test. when replacing the starter make sure the mounting surface is not painted. that is were the starter gets its ground, clean starter and engine block with sand paper etc..
