^^ if the external clutch failed in a lock mode AND the belt burns that is definitely a compressor failure.
The Toyota TIS site has lengthy TS guide on what needs replaced depending on how far the debris traveled in the system.
In short a failed compressor can be very costly as the shrapnel travels throughout the system and IF every little particle IS NOT removed, compressor #2 will have a very short life!
OP - go into your heating control and turn off the A/C and/or with the engine and its belt off, confirm the pulley spins freely.
FWIW - take it to a shop who will stand behind there work for at least a year or 10,000+ miles because if they miss something, think expensive replay!
