No, it clicks into the fork pivot bracket.
Unbolt the slave cylinder first, you have to anyway for inspection.
Trust me, get in there with a bright light and check it. I assure you even if the T/O bearing is bad, it is not causing your current problem.

OK, the problem was the tight space we worked in last night, could hardly maneuver properly to get in there with a light. How would I replace the pivot bracket without pulling the trans IF that's what needs to be fixed or realigned?

There is nothing that needs realignment, it's either broken or it's not. Just check the thing already 
3/8 drive ratchet
1 foot extension
12mm swivel socket
If its broken, of course. I'm pretty sure I've replaced this part in 10 minutes, it's been too long to remember.

OK, so the bracket screws in and out fairly easily? Question is, if it does need replacement is there any way to make the clutch stay without that bracket just for now?
I'm thinking that ordering a new one from Honda will take some time because they probably don't have it on hand :/

The clutch fork pivot is held on with two bolts, that point backwards into the trans. The pivot itself is a solid hunk of aluminum, with a thin steel spring that grips the fork pivot 'axle' and holds it in place.
The pivot is open on one end. So the forks axle just sort of slides into that open end, with that spring gripping it (note, springs is a bent, flat piece of metal. Not a coil spring).
So you should literally be able to peek inside the hole the fork goes through, and inspect this pivot bracket.
But its all going to be coated with clutch dust, and be hard to see unless you know what you are looking for. So google for images of S2000 bell housing, so you can see what this pivot thing is supposed to look like.
If you do need to replace it, like Billman mentioned it can be done through the opening, but you must take care not to drop old part or bolts into bell housing when you do. So think about how you will do it and proceed thoughtfully.

How does it look? Is the bearing where it should be?

Here is a small clip that shows how it sits and how easily it should clip in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GkWdHfFkjk

Oh and make sure you remove the slave cylinder first if you haven't already done that.

Should the center pole of the fork be greased?
