Sounds like your ignition switch is going bad. If you jiggle the key, do things go on and off? If so, search for ignition switch and you'll find a bunch of info.
nothing turns on and off, w/e comes on stays on but just wont turn over
rbirling has it correct: sounds like your ignition switch.
You can clean the switch and re-grease it. I have some handy pics...just search the forums.

I would carefully check the ground and + terminal on the battery. Try to rotate them, if they move start there
.
The symptoms you desribe, "wierd electrical things" indicate low voltage throughout the car. The bogging could be insufficient spark voltage.
Having the alarm go of for a few munites could certainly make bad connections worse, i.e. they can heat up. I have seen so many loose ground terminals on these cars, I would say 50% need attention.

The battery terminals are always a good place to start and work your way from there. Also early model NSX's have been known to have ignition switch problems as well. So that might be a good second step. Good luck on this.
