Change the battery and clean all the corrosion on your cable ends. The clicking noise is usually a corrosion problem. Starter is fine.

Sounds like the battery has gone south, so to speak.

yeah it definitely sounds like the battery because after you start it for the first time the alternator charges the battery. When it sits all night the battery drains.

I doubt theyll honor your warranty. 7 years for a battery is kind of beyond its lifespan. But give it a shot. Batteries arent that expensive.
