Even if the transmission is stuck your engine should be able to crank with the clutch pedal on the floor....

engine can seize if a seal broke and is blocking a rotors path.

okay today was weird. I was about to start unbolting the motor, but for somereason iwanted to see if it would crank. Pushed the starter button, and it cranked. wtf!?!? itwas jammed 3 days ago. It started it back up and it idled and all. I was like wtf/ what is going on. It was warmed up, I drove it up my hill then suddenly then engine lost like half its power and i couldnt make it up the hill. I made a u turn and rolled back onto my driveway. Popped the hood and the coolant overflow tank was boiling and steaming. My engine was overheating, and then it shut itself off. weird. why is it overheating...There plenty of coolant, I just done acoolant flush the other week. There was plenty of pressure flow in the radiator hoses when i checked.. so the waterpump should be working... i dunno.. this shiz is killin me.. It still slow as **** and overheats..it acutaly feels slower than last week. Cause last week i was able to make it up my hill with a passenger, now it could barely take me up my hill ,and I even have to clutch finess..

was it smoking? like coolant seal problem? or hell you could even have had a small cracki in the iron where the coolant passages are and some how compressionis getting in your coolant flow. but i had an na that did that same thing but i just sold the car and never tore it down i was a noob to the engines then so i dont know if i popped a seal or fried a wire or waht but i drove it home on the interstate with one rotor and it was rolling hills so i got to 70 then went down to 35ish while it barely pulled it self.
check inj's and harness
check out trany for whatever could be jamming it up and if its not the motor then start getting the parts you need like t2 afm... i have 2 of them if you need one
