For the frozen parking brake cable, try soaking the complete jacketed section with PB Blaster and flexing back and forth by hand to help break the inner cable free. You mentioned using a bumper jack so I am assuming that was with the cable installed in the car with the outer jacket held by the brake backing plates and frame brackets. If you can get it to break loose then working the jacket back and forth on the cable with more penetrating oil should gradually get it working properly.
Good luck!
