sticky starters are quite common and only really need cleaned out well.
id be worried about the abs light coming on though. you really need to get the car scanned to see whats caused that.
try leaving the battery disconnected for half an hour and see if it resets the lights at least. - this isnt really a substitute for scanning - as it may be intermittent fault due to the starter sticking . im thinking along the lines of the starter being turned and becoming more like a alternator
