IMO it sounds like the alarm causing you grief. Seems like the starter wires got a cutout relay on it, if its aftermarket alarm you could try chasing the starter wire and see if you come to a relay, if you find one you could then chase the trigger wire off that to find the alarm box, of course you've probably pulled the dash half apart by then... Car only running for 5-6 seconds after a roll start seems to suggest the possibility of a secondary imobilisation circuit running on the fuel pump, you need to disarm the alarm!
Try 'jumping' the starter (if you can get to it) take off the solenoid trigger wire and give it a direct touch of 12v, should see it jump into life.. if not the starters probably faulty.
