Default Vibration in clutch and locked out of 2 and 3

So last night I was driving home when I noticed a weird vibration in my clutch pedal when I was stopped and at idle. When moving or when at higher revs the vibration went away. Then when coming to a stop and down shifting I could not get my car into 3rd at first and when I tried to put it into 2nd it would not go in there either. I tried bringing the revs up and it still would allow me in. I came to a complete stop and placed the car in 1st. On take off I was allowed to cycle through the gears and I had no further problems the rest of the evening.

Then this morning as I was driving to work, maybe two blocks maximum, I was again unable to get my car into 2nd or 3rd. Not sure if this is a clutch or transmission problem. Maybe a throw out bearing. Wondering really if anyone else has had this problem? And will it be a cheap fix or a pricey fix? Thanks for any help yall might have.

Ok so now it is grinding getting into 2nd and 3rd ...

Does anyone possibly know what might be the problem or I am just S.O.L and need to change the clutch and or the transmission?

Where is the engagement point of the clutch relative to pedal travel?

The engagement point feels the same as always, I havent noticed a change there. It has always been about 1/3-1/2 way.

The only real issue with the clutch pedal is the weird vibration when at a stop and at idle. When revs are added the vibration goes away or is masked.
