you need to jump the Big terminal (B+) at the solenoid to the little
terminal on the side of the solenoid. If that does nothing, then jump
the big B+ one to the bottom one, direct to the windings. If the first
does not start the car, and the starter turns (but won't engage) with
the latter, the solenoid is bad, but the starter may still need to be
replaced. My bet is still that the starter is bad.

Shorting the pins at the terminal block does nothing. I jumped the car
also, and the behavior did not change. I did note that shifting the car
into and out of park and neutral while the switch is in the start position
caused dimming of all the dash lights, implying a short in the system and
also implying that the neutral safety switch is operating correctly.
