01 Taco wouldn't be too different than my 99 Camry. When you disconnect the battery it cycles the power locks when you reconnect it and leaves them unlocked. No alarm so it wouldn't go off doing this.
And not sure on the Taco but on a Camry you can pop the hood from the outside without using the cable release inside. Just reach in the grille and pull on the lever and the hood is open. It's an easy and quick way to get into the car if you lock your keys inside (if you're honest) or to unlock it to get inside without breaking glass if you're not.
