First, take a taxi to work.

Tonight afterwork and the friend or taxi ride home, look at the plugs. See if they are wet and with what.

Check the fluids and check for leak. It soundsd like you pop a hose at the thottle body, but you will have to check.

Oh and the noise when you squeeze the hose is probably the thermostat

If it overheated and shut down, you might as well look for another engine.
