Serious car problem?
I know its tough to pin point without looking at it but maybe I can get some suggestions on what might be wrong
We already think the battery is bad because when trying to start it these last 2 times it doesn t even try and loses all power and needs to be jumped
I tried to leave after it was jumped and it starting making one ding noise after the other and the screen on my dash that tells me the temp and what way im going freaked out and the engine rumbled and died leaving the electric throttle control and engine light on
We jumped it again had to give it gas and made it to the house but it gave an exhaust smell
Any ideas?

Every auto parts store will test the battery and charging system for you for free so why are you guessing?
When a battery is seriously flat it can give rise to all those electronic nonsenses, such as the dings, bings and beeps, info screens going haywire, odd lights and so on, as well as the non-cranking. I'd suggest the battery, that's certainly the prime suspect.
bad battery
have it load tested to make sure then replace it
how old is the battery. if near 5 years, replace it
My answer to that would violate community standards.
