Have you tried starting car,some times on boxters low battery can give this problem
Open with key if alarm goes off insert key in ignition

Really should diconnect he battery and charge it up for a day or so. Then give it a spin. Shd be OK. The low batery level is playing havoc with the security system sending false signals triggering various states of lay up mode.

Mine did that off and on for a month with no other problems then it started making a loud suction noise and the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer and they said the "oil separator" needed to be replaced.
After the repair I never heard the squealing again.

Sure - just like any other car, once your Boxster is running, it is more than capable of powering the starting system of another car.

Yes. It may have a weak magnet on it. Otherwise it would be the ignition or control module. Try replacing key first.

You are Burning Oil. Check the Oil Level, Should be low. Have a Mechanic check your Compression and the Rings in that Motor!

it is your ignition switch, you need to replace it, you can do this by removing the plastic casing around the steering column, remove the ignition by taking out all of the bolts and putting a new one in, once you remove the plastic casing you will see how to remove the ingnition, just a few bolts.

yes removing the battery sets off the security system and locks out the engine from starting, reset it.
