Kev may want to move your door post to it's own heading so it doesn't get lost in his blog and more people can see it.
Does the actual outside button push in and release OK? There s a collar on the shaft of that mechanism which pushes against a lever going to the actual latch mechanism. When the button is pushed, it pushes A & Lifts B which releases a catch on a toothed wheel at C inside the latch which lets the rotary part turn--same as when the inside handle is pulled only via a different lever D. E rotates via key and F pushes and are the locking pieces. Moving the long piece with two U shapes down prevent the lever from moving at D. If the wheel is turning and the button or inside handle is not stuck in the release position, it sounds as if the coiled spring pushing against lever or possibly the pawl is broken. The latch is held onto the door by some screws on the door jamb. Once the inner panel is removed, mounting screws out and rods for inner door handle and lock released, the latch should push into the door and come out. It may need a bit of twisting. If the channel is in the way, there should be a guide and mount at the very bottom screwed to the door. The screw may be hidden inside the channel or on a bracket at 90 degrees to the channel. That can be loosened and channel should be able to be moved slightly to let things clear.
Once the oil has had a chance to work, if you still need the outside handle off, then with the window trim molding and inner panel removed you can push it from inside the door. There is a stop at the center of window bottom which keeps window from going lower. Remove that and SLIGHTLY lower window further just so the top of glass is below the inner panel lip for protection. Get a long heavy screwdriver or something similar and a hammer and lightly tap on the front of the retainer to push it out the door jamb from the front. It won't be a straight shot but you can get enough of an angle to push it out. It will probably be rusted tight and may be damaged anyway but try and be careful and maybe get lucky.
Your lock is similar in working to this from packards1's ebay site but as this is for another model and I think passenger side, some details may be a bit different or a mirror image.
