Why does the car turn off when I let go of the clutch?
If u release the clutch instantly when the car is in gear, the car’s engine is shut off because when the car is in gear the transmission wants the torque or energy to drive the car forward but if you release the clutch instantly the car’s engine doesn’t provide that much torque which the transmission wants.

Could start w/o problem, but as soon as “just started” to let up clutch OR as soon as engage blades, the engine would cut off.

Why does my Clutch make noise when I release the clutch?
In some cases, the throw out bearing will make noises as you release the clutch. This is commonly caused by the center bearing grinding on the flywheel as it’s moving towards the transmission. If you notice this sound, have a professional mechanic inspect or replace the throw out bearing.
