There are a few problems with your code. Below is a minimal plugin example which should help you out. You do not want to try to relaunch your plugin (create a new instance of your plugin class). Instead, you should add a parent parameter to your map tool class constructor and pass in the plugin dialog when you instantiate the map tool class. This will allow you to access the dialog and it's widgets from inside the map tool class and simply show it on the right mouse click using self.parent.show().

I have added some comments to the code below which is based on the minimal plugin example from Martin Dobias here.

It is a simple, working example with all classes and methods within the __init__.py file and this example shows how I prefer to structure my plugins. I have also included the metadata.txt file so that you you can save both these files in a folder and copy to your plugins directory, then activate in plugin manager to test.
