In theory it is possible to drive your car without using the clutch. However, this could damage your cars gearbox in the long run. So its probably best to pull over and wait to be towed.

***Me as a professional TRUCK driver driving a Mack (Volvo) with a powerful tranny (Eaton Fuller) we must change gears without using clutch (only take off so 1st gear).. In order to do it has to be familiar with ur vehicle and works in certain RPM ( about 1200 -1300) in relation playing with the gas pedal, but every truck is different when rpm is decreasing from 3000 rpm is when u do and This style is called FLOWING GEARS u can shift up or shift down. to be honest this style helps alot when u r in the city..
I tried with my 2 personal cars nissal altima stick shift and a 92 manual Honda civic as well they are fun if u do it correctly other wise u will be grinding gear is not good for the tranny!! like i said it required a lot of practice and be focus on the road while u flowing gears.. U wont damage tranny if u do it correctly just play with rpm and gas pedal.
first engaged 1st gear to take off as normal then when u r about to shift up decelerated slowly with the gas pedal at the same time while u try to shift up from 1st to neutral to 2nd has to be smoothly... good luck

No, the throw out bearing in a clutch is needed to keep an disengaged clutch spinning. you can drive a car with a bad throwout bearing if you don't use the clutch By "floating the gears".
