The car turned off two times when coming to a stop. I was driving home and it started making a weird noise then it just turned off. Could not start it anymore. If I try to turn it on it does like a clicking sound but does not turn on at all.

Sounds like you have several problems. Noises are almost hard to say what it is to advise on. First thing you need to do is make sure battery is fully charged. Most parts stores will charge the battery and check it for you. If battery is good here is a link to check the alternator.

If okay then sounds like the starter is faulty. For stalling problem check for any vacuum leaks. If okay suspect a faulty idle air control valve.
