How do you know if its the starter or solenoid that is broke?
You can turn the key to the "run" position, and jump across the solenoid with a screwdriver or something metal. If the starter turns, you have a bad solenoid.

Could a bad starter not make anything in the car come on such as the radio or the clock?
If the starter has a direct ground short, it is possible that many electrical accessories/electrical components will act like they have hardly any power or not come on at all. Fastest way to find out, by jumping the two big screws on the selinoid. (You do this by placing a screwdriver across the two bolts) The vehicle will do nothing and the starter will have some sparking to it, only if the starter or celiniod is bad. If it is good, it will attempt to start.
Pontiac starter disengages before engine starts?
I would say you have broken teeth on it, or your battery may be getting too low, while your key is in the ignition in the on position, take a screwdriver and touch the B+ wire on the starter solenoid ( may take a few tries but should start)! I would also advise that you get it replaced!

How do you start a car by tapping starter with screwdriver?
You cant really, sometimes shadetree mechanics can get a few extra weeks out of a starter that has a bad solenoid by hitting the starter with something. After a while that wont work either. You can use a screwdriver to cross connect the two large terminals on the starter to bypass the solenoid but its not good to do and also dangerous. If you have some kind of ignition problem that you cannot figure out but still need to operate the car in emergencies or to keep from losing a job you can buy a remote starter switch from an auto parts store ( about $10 ) and connect the alligator clips to the 2 large terminals on the starter, then with the ignition switch in the run position press the button to start. Tuck the switch away under the hood for the next start.
