Default Car doesn't start... it's not the battery...I think

Help please!

The situation:
- car doesn't start (video included)
- car sat for 1.5 weeks (neglect..I know...I'm sorry, I was on vacation)
- I tried jump starting the car... no avail (what happens?...same thing on the video)
- window doesn't go back to "up/in" position after door is closed
- when not connected to jump-start machine-thing, the dome lights are dim
- I can get into "on" mode, but double din doesn't start up

Notes:
- entirely possible I've been jump starting cars wrong all these years... I recently checked youtube/co-workers and apparently I didn't know you had to let the good car run/idle for a bit before starting the "dead" car... I normally hooked the two bastards up and fired up the dead car.... in my defense, it worked everytime...except on my car. -_-

- I tried putting the fob in the "fob-gina" to start the car...with no avail. I have not tried using a new battery in my key fob.

- In the video I used a friend's emergency jump-start machine-thing he bought from Costco. According to this device, the battery is good and "ready".

Please help me! Car is pissed with me for leaving on vacation. -_-
