I would to except I don’t think I can get past neutral if the car is moving. But neutral will still stop you but at the expense of the engine instead of the trans.
Assuming that you are accelerating uncontrollably because the throttle is stuck open for some reason putting it in neutral doesn’t fix that issue. It just stops the car from accelerating (i.e. fixes the symptom but not the disease). So the engine remains going full tilt, redlines, and blows itself up.

Why would neutral do anything to the engine?

Oh, sure I get what you mean. It’s not like neutral itself would be doing anything damaging though.
