It's very difficult to mistake a condenser fan for a noisy compressor, but Honda's are know for bad condenser fan relays. I'm going to guess the compressor is blowing metal through the system and clogging the expansion valve or orifice tube, which ever it has, just as Scott R has pointed out. This would be one reason why the low side won't come down, the other would be that the compressor doesn't suck as it should anymore. We need to see the high side pressure though, which is the only thing the condenser fan helps. It lowers the temp of the freon thus lowers the pressure.
If the compressor is making noise, it's either the clutch, the belt or the internals. You can try to add the can that you have, but I doubt it sucks it in.
