I have the inside screws out, and the outside door knob slides out the
first 1/2 inch without trouble, but then gets stuck. Is the "striker"
the piece that moves horizontally and forms the "pin" or "bolt" that
actually forms the lock?

Did you remove the circlip under the cover thingie that you took the screws
out of?

The part that pops into the door frame slides _INTO_ the doorknob assembly.
That is why you can't pull it out with out first removing the throw. That
being said, you have to get to the edge of the door some other way. Maybe
you can use a butter knife in the slot where the inside door knob goes and
twist it to work the in-out thingie.
