That's interesting. Once the alarm has been triggered it shouldn't shut off (at least I don't know of a preset timeout, so to speak). That would suggest though that the tilt sensors are working and the immobilizer precessor is likely intact.
As far as I know, yes, the immobilizer in a 99 is under the driver's seat.
If the battery is live, there are 2 options to unlock the car. 1 is to press to unlock button on the central locking switch (on the dash). The other is to manually pull the handle inside the cabin. (Pulling once will unlock, pulling twice will open)
Both of these operations should be able to be done with a slimjim by any good ol boy in about 3 minutes. (The design of our doors make them one of the easiest cars in the world to use a slim Jim, you won't even need an airbag to help). If the dealer can't figure out how to do that, well, you need to find yourself a good ol boy
