Might be something hydraulic, that's what actually actuates the clutch. The throwout bearing is just along for the ride.

Judging the fact that you can't type, or speak proper english, I would suggest not taking apart your transmission by yourself.

Plus it would suck to replace the throwout bearing after a few hours of labor only to have a wrong diagnosis in the first place.

i say, if you already have the trany off then just go ahead and replace the clutch assembly and resurface the flywheel.

Did your car make a funny high pitched noise before dying? TOB's usually make noises for a long time before they go out

check the slave first and make sure it's not bad and leaking fluid. if that is good check the hydro lines to make sure they arent leaking and losing pressure somewhere. if that is not the case then i would pull the tranny off.

The bearing is along for the ride, it just pushes on stuff. It would have to physically come apart to make clutch actuate on it's own, unless it's totally siezed/not sliding and stuck in the wrong position. That's usually a gradual failure part. I can't really see that happening, you said the car was in gear and the clutch was engaged (is that what "up" means?)?
