When an engine is seized up, it will not turn over. The crank cannot make a rotation. Take hold of the main pulley and try to turn it. When you cannot turn the engine over, it is seized.

Depends how bad its seized. Sometimes you can try to spin the crankshaft and knock it loose. If that works, it should still be torn down to check for cylinder damage. If it seized in the first place, there is internal damage somewhere.

How can you tell if a motor is seized or if it is the transmission?

To determine if a motor is seized or if the issue lies with the transmission, first check if the engine turns over manually by attempting to rotate the crankshaft with a wrench. If the engine cannot be turned and there are no unusual noises, it may be seized. If the engine turns but the vehicle doesn't move when in gear, the problem is likely with the transmission. Additionally, listening for grinding or slipping noises can help pinpoint the issue further.
