I don't know if the remote will do it, but if you stick your key into the door it will put it up and down depending upon which way you twist the key.

That's correct. You cannot open or close the top with the fob, but you can do it with the key in the door. By the way, most people use their door keys so infrequently that the mechanism is usually very stiff at first. You might have to jiggle is back and forth several times to exercise it before it finally starts to work. Don't turn the key too hard, though. The connection between the latch and the lock pushrods is plastic and it can be broken.

Where is the top down button on a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier convertible?

The lever that lates/unlatches the top also controls the electric convertible up/down. If you want the top down, unlatch and pull the handle towards the back (in essence the same direction you want the top to go). Vice Versa to put the top back up.

Will a 1998 Chevy cavalier convertible top fit on a 1999 model?

It depends on which month it was made. In mid 1999 the roof stiching style changed. They put a new seam down the side behind the rear window. Google "convertible tops" you will find some diagrams to look at. AND it is not a job for a beginner, it is REALLY difficult if you have never done it before.
