2nd row head rest stuck and seat with not fold down
If the head rest is down and hasn't been moved in quite a while the guides may be corroded or rusty from moisture. A flat bar or large screwdriver with any sharp edges filed down or taped to avoid upholstery damage may be inserted between the seat back and headrest and rocked up and down like a seesaw near each end of the headrest to get it to move. If it starts to move you can add spacers to keep squeezing the headrest up until it moves more freely. If the headrest is part way up it may be cocked one way and jamming. just give it a whack or two side to side to see if it helps to free it. If you do get it out wipe a little silicone lube on the shafts with a rag to help keep it moving.
Where is the heater control valve
I believe water circulates always through the heater core (not on all vehicles, but on yours I think) and flapper doors open or shut to direct air through heater core and to defrost or vents. These doors have actuators which run on engine vacuum collected in a vacuum resevoir and held by a check valve. A vacuum leak, or bad check valve or bad actuator can cause no heat.
