I would fix the corrosion problem first, if that doesn't take care of it the solenoid might be bad

the neutral safety switch will only allow power to the starter if its in park/neutral BUT if its corroded (like the starter) then it will allow power to go through it at any time... also the key cylinder could be corroded as well and be putting power to the starter at times too... i would check these out as well to see what condition they are in
