If the vehicle is behind a LOCKED, gated area, or in a garage, then yes, they (whoever is reposessing), can go to jail for trespassing. If the car is out in the open i.e. on a curb, in the driveway that's not gated, in a private parking lot (not gated), in a private parking deck, then they can and will repo the car, boat, anything that they have a court order to take for nonpayment. They can get anything that is out in the open. If they can see it, they will take it.

Is it illegal for a tow truck operator to open a vehicle to release the emergency brake in order to tow?
No it is not. Most states are considered a "self-help" repossession. This means that a repossessor can legally repossess secured collateral as long as he does not breach the peace. This can include removal of a vehicle from private property since the repossessor is allowed to "peacefully trespass" to remove the secured collateral.
