The ABS issue, first you need to get the car up and pull all the wheels and inspect the brakes. See how much pad is accually left.

Second Inspect all the wheel sensor wires and make sure none of them are damaged.

Third these cars are known for having wheel bearing issues, the ABS pickup ring is mounted in the bearing, if the bearing is failing or damaged (water, rust, grease) can cause the issue.

The clicking noise you most likely heard is the ABS pump, thats what keeps the wheels from locking up in a panic stop. If the pump is going or is bad, when the system self checks at startup will throw a code and set the light. Basicly its running in limp mode, you have no working ABS and no traction control with those lights illuminated.
