if you keep tackling this project yourself and get the belt off, try spinning all of your pullies by hand. a seized pully bearing can prevent a starter from rotating your engine.

OP is already suspecting the engine is seized and ready to cut the belt off and that engine shouldnt be too hard to turn over. It has not been uncommon for customers having their vehicle towed in and telling me the engine is seized and needing a new one, and it was just a frozen pump or pully.
