So far everything seems to point to a seized brake caliper. Make sure you lube up the caliper pins with high-temp brake grease or high-temp anti-seize. The new caliper will also lock up if this is crucial step if overlooked. Also, when tightening the caliper pins don't let the wrench you are using to hold the inner part ride on the caliper because this can also cause the caliper to stick.
