The factory alarm on that generation I don't think has any kind of immobilization function....but I could be wrong.
How old is your battery? If it's over 5 years, it needs to be looked at and probably changed, regardless if it's starting the car most of the time or not. (This just bit me HARD the other day. Sears has a free evaluation service.
On the bright side, your starter works (or the car wouldn't start at all) and the solenoid works, or you wouldn't be getting a clicking noise.
Probably the first thing you can do is take off the battery cables, clean off the battery terminals and surface (and clamps) with a sponge with some baking soda in water on it. A little Vaseline (not kidding) on the terminals and clamps can help prevent corrosion from reforming...and if you're lucky, the problem may just be a crudded up connection. If that doesn't resolve the issue, get your battery checked out.
