I am only addressing your title of the thread "No crank no start".
If the clutch pedal isn't fully depressed, the car will not crank. It prevents absent minded people from starting their cars in gear with the clutch out. Even newer tractors have this feature.
Your first issue may have caused your second issue.
I had a friend call me from work, because her Camry wouldn't crank. The first thing I asked her was is the car in park? She moved her shift lever, & the problem was solved. Save me an hour trip to go help her.
I do driving lessons with 15-17 year old kids all the time. It's a common mistake for them. Sometimes, I let them make those mistakes, because they learn from them better.
