Sounds like the clutch to me , while you're changing the clutch I'd spend the extra money and have your flywheel turned, change the pilot bearing, and the slave cylinder the slave cylinder and throwout bearing are 1 piece

the noise that goes away when you push the clutch still needs to be adressed. i'm willing to bet it is the release bearing. might as well put a slave cylinder and pilot bearing in as well.
