Benz there done that.. keep the faith. It is a great car once you sort all of the small issues.
The fact that you can't get the starter to turn and you can't push start it is a strong clue to me. looking at battery or switch connections. Regardless of whatever kind of sounds it's making or lights are flashing you should be able to feel a little heat from the GPs of you just touch around the head near the GPs. These cars are pretty sensitive to GP failure i've, depending on the overall health of the engine, i'v seen one GP failed and 4 working and NOT been able to start and 4 GPs failed and one working and HAVE been able to start.
Looks like its 87 degrees in Orlando today. Glow plugs or not
chances are that you could actually successfully "push start" the car if you can get up and keep up enough speed. Probably not a a good long hill around in Orlando.
Do you have a friend that could tow rope you?? I've tow started my automatic this way.
