Wiggling and jiggling may get it to turn one more time, be ready with a set

Yup.
You’ve probably got a bad lock cylinder. Best to do a Wilton on it with the
vibratory sander and see if you can free it up for the removal.
A new cylinder with key matched to your VIN is under $100 from the dealer.

Aside from needing a new front and rear bumper and grille, it does start and

2 sets of keys, that is not something you see everyday at copart.
Not sure. I just buy whatever I find at flaps, usually some kit from mother’s
