This line pointed to one of your errors:
set1 = (int*)realloc(set1, *sizeSet1 * sizeof(int));
Note '&' removed before 'set1' argument.
My note about memory leak is also very important for proper use of realloc.
You should heed those who have mastered the language use, for they see the
'little' errors, which directly affect your code quality. You may have lots
of credentials in your field, but if you want to write software, listen to
professionals.
I'd recommend you to read "Code complete", by Steve McConnell.
