Sounds like you may have lost your pad retaining pin. That would likely cause the chattering while not braking and the popping could be caused by the caliper lifting off the rotor and bumping any stick-on wheel weights you may have.
If this is what's happening, you need to fix it quick before you cut your wheel in half.

The clip off the retaining pin is missing, and the pin is sticking out about 1/4". I can't see where the caliper has been hitting anything, but it does seem possible. So, I wonder if it screwed up the hole through the caliper....

If the pin was inserted from the outside, then it could be hitting the wheel spokes (which is probably why it hasn't come out all the way yet).

Probably not. The way those PBR calipers work is that the bracket makes up half of the "hole" while the barke pad makes up the other half -- the caliper is not supported by anything but the pads themselves and does not even touch the retaining pin. Even if it did screw anything up, the worst you would have to do is replace the pads and the bracket... but that bracket is pretty heavy-duty, so I don't see it getting damages very quicly.

The pin is inserted from the outside. I didn't look at the inside of the wheel spokes.

Good catch ItalianLX! As for the "popping noise"...I will concur with militarymustang88...ball joint.
