I'd say it would likely be the alternator. The starter should not be making any noise at all with the engien running, unless it's failing to disengage and I think that would be more obvious.
Try loosening the Serp belt and wiggling the alternator pulley. I bet the bearing is going and that's the one making noise. If it is, then it is likley freezing up (when you got the lights) and that's NOT GOOD. If it freezes and the belt shreads he not only looses power within a couple miles but he looses cooling too when the waterpump stops (although maybe the dead car is a bit of a safety valve on the cooling issue!).
Get in there and wiggle that pulley. FYI - if the sound is on the quietside, the belt could also be slipping, but I'd bet against that.
