Well, no there isn't any way to interrupt the ECM's power feeds, because of its memory it stores for emissions related components, but most control modules are pretty robust and have circuit protection built into them in case something shorts out. And power feeds are protected by fuses, but in a situation like this where we don't know if more of the harness was damaged, you may be hearing a relay clicking on a off if a power wire is somehow back feeding into another damaged wire.
Does the clicking happen if you just turn the key on without attempting to start it or after the battery is hooked back up?
As for the crank sensor code, it really depends on what wires you find or found to be damaged, according to the code criteria for P0335 the ECM is detecting either No crankshaft position signal while cranking, or No crankshaft position signal at 600rpm or more.
Which is why I am surprised the engine starts at all like it does, this code will set 10 seconds after the ECM not seeing the crank pos signal, that's most likely why you're getting the stall out like you are currently.
I can imagine the damage this would cause,
With the key off when you're hearing all this clicking, just try touching the fuel injector plugs and the relays in the engine compartment fuse panel to see exactly what is making the noise, if it's that active and you have time to check since it requires a battery disconnect to stop it, you'll be able to definitely feel the component, just have the fuse panel's cover off already, once we know what it is, we can track down its circuit to see where it originates.
Have you already attempted a repair on the crank sensor circuit I assume?
These are the fuses and relays located in the engine compartment, they have the relays mismanaged a bit for some reason, but the 6th diagram should be correct if you feel one of them clicking away with the battery hooked up,
Relays can act like that if they have low voltage to them, or high resistance in the circuit somewhere limiting current flow to them, they can click on and off real fast, but see what you come up with,
It's a strange case study anyway, obviously something is not powering down for whatever reason. Hopefully the ECM is not damaged, but hard to say at this point.
