Driver seat stuck fully reclined, forward and raised. HELP!

Short story..my electric switch that controls the tilt of the back will only recline. Mechanically, the switch won't rotate forward, to tilt the seat forward. I tried to remove the two small Phillips screw on the switch, hoping it would come off, but no luck.

1. How does it come off?

So, in messing with it, I now have the seat almost fully reclined, against the back wall. Fully forward, and raised up high. At 6'3", it is not completely un-driveable. When I try to use the side levers on the back, to tilt the seat forward, the levers move up, but does not disengage the seat back forward.

To make matters worse, the front two T12 bolts are almost hidden because the seat is so far forward.

Any advice or ways to get the seat back forward? I am more than happy to try and disassemble the seat in the car if possible. Not sure how the back detached from the seat.

Anyone help me get this thing drivable again? Only part electric is the tilt. Forward and back is manual.
