I'm thinking it's a more basic electrical problem. You have two symptoms -
failure to crank, and dying when it had been running. My hunch is a
connection in the battery wiring or similar.
I am especially puzzled by the sequence. It was running, then died but
started with a boost (suggesting the battery wasn't charging even though you
were on the highway)... then died with symptoms that are consistent with the
voltage fading away, but wouldn't crank even with a boost.
If you reach the point of needing to try *something* I'd recommend replacing
the battery (or swapping with another car) and replacing the battery
cables - or at least giving them a good inspection and cleaning.

Possibly. Also bad battery, bad battery connection, bad cables,
bad starter solenoid.
Try this. Turn headlights on. Try the starter. If the headlights do
not dim, the starter isn't drawing current or the starter solenoid
isn't letting current through. If the headlights dim, the starter is
drawing current but bad cables or connections aren't allowing enough
current to flow.

I concur with Michael,
I've had relatively new cars with the same click-clicking and there was
nothing wrong except for the battery. Time to get a new battery...

New battery installed, and connection to battery are clean as whistle.
Now it could be wiring possibly or perhaps starter.

Although the starter wouldn't explain the dying.
