You have serious directory problems with the hard drive. The fact that it can't be repaired in Single User mode means you need stronger medicine like Disk Warrior.
However, for the money I would get an external hard drive, boot with your System CD and install the operating system on the external drive. Use the Migration Assistant to pull everything over from the internal drive. Make sure everything transfers correctly, then use Disk Utility to reformat the internal.
After all that, use Disk Utility --> Restore to move everything back to your now healthy internal drive.
You need a back up any way, right?!

Would still use DiskWarrior 4.1 and ensure the HDD is in good condition. You might like to start from the install DVD and run Repair Disk from there and see if Disk Utility can do the job first.

Looking at the photo, I can tell exactly the problem: finger prints on the screen.
;D
Actually, the USB error is interesting, do you have anything interesting on your USB bus?

Does seem odd that it is coughing up a USB error, but I would go with either plan A or B: Disk Warrior or an external drive.
