BROKEN CRUISE CONTROL CABLE (CHECK AT THROTTLEBODY AND FOLLOW TO TRANSMISSION)
Check parking brake if you use it. Sounds like broken cable.
NO. It has a cable.
You can take the front grill off, with some T20 screws on the front of the car. You will see the hood release cable, and the mechanism that it attaches to. Just look at it, and you will be able to figure out how to open it from there.
I go crazy everytime I have to open the hood on my 98 Chevy Astro. The guys just say "oh it's a Chevy" and they bang the hood. I have found that if I stick a butter knife unde the hood I can open it. What a pain!

If it feels like the cable isn't broken, pry up on the hood while someone is pulling on the release. If it doesn't work, take it to the body shop.
