so does that mean that the rear wheel can be left on the ground and just put the car in neutral?

no , you need to use tow dolly for the rear wheels , they have wheels on them and strap to your rear wheels.

because even though the car is in neutral , if the drive wheels are moving the tranny is still spinning and CAN cause damage
