In my non expertise advice id say the starter is having issues. When its squealing like that then i think it means the gear isn't retracting fast enough. and when it wouldn't start the second time then I think it might be the the gear isn't even engaging. Try replacing the starter or if its a new one then bring it back the the store and swap it out.

Yea but it might spin freely fine but when you apply a force to the gear then that might be your problem
