There's no way to answer this without seeing the damage, sorry.

The entire seat certainly needs to come out to be inspected, and only then can a decision be made as to whether it's possible to make a repair by welding. Often it's possible to do so, but is impractical if the seat needs to be stripped right down. If the seat has any airbags built in (European spec versions have a side airbag) then the car battery must be disconnected prior to seat removal and precautions must be taken when welding to prevent the airbag from detonating.

In practice it will often be cheaper and easier to replace the seat with one from the scrapyard, but finding a good one can be a hit and miss affair. The V6 Accord tends to be driven by rather well upholstered drivers and 10 years of carrying that kind of weight will leave many seats with worn upholstery and saggy cushions. One other option is a lot more expensive but still might be preferable to fixing your own seat: you could source a near perfect seat from the UK. As we drive on the right (RHD), what you use as a driver's seat is a virtually unused passenger seat over here. If I'm wrong and you are in a RHD country then the advice still holds good: just search scrapyards online in LHD countries instead.

My passenger seat won't lock into position. It slides back and forth as I drive and the bar that you pull on to move it back and forth is stuck in the up position.

There is a spring that pull's the handle back to lock position that might be broke or the locking mechanism might be gummed up.the spring can't be bought seperatly so check a hardware store or replace the seat track assembly.

Driver seat not moving back and forth

under the seat is a thin wire that goes from one side to the other it has most likely broke you need to find the secondary lock it was connected to and release it to move the seat but you must also release the main lock so i suggest replacing the wire . THIS IS FOR MANUEL SEATS 
now as for power seats you will have to locate the power lead wire and make sure it is not broke if so you can replace the connecter with an aftermarket one and it may work again

Window off Track 2000 honda civic

My 2000 Honda has done it about 5 times. You can fix it fairly easy at home but unfortunately it will keep occuring until you replace the whole lifting system which is expensive! First you have to take out the screws that holds the speaker on, and 1 on the handle and 1 where you pull the door shut. Then unplug the wiring for the speaker, auto window and door locks, pop the door panel off. There are 2 bolts on the bottom of each end of the door. They hold the bracket that holds the track. Loosen whichever side is out of track (you may have to do both) and work it back in. You also may have to run the window up and down to help it back in. Hope this helps dude!

Front seat bracket underneath

You can buy the brackets or seat frame seperatly.
The thing is that you have to take the seat out and disassemble the whole thing to replace the bracket.
