that pretty much sums it up.
just for fun, try cranking the engine while you knock on the top of the pump assembly. this can knock some sense into the motor and it may start up and run for a bit....just for fun.

if it has power EVERY time but is only pressurizing on occasion then it has to be the pump... consistent power means the ignition and main relay are fine, it's not moving so I highly doubt it's a ground issue (might be worth a look though...) so that leaves the pump...
How are you verifying that the pump comes on? Is it that you hear it pressurize? If so then I'd say your diagnostics all point to the pump based on the condition that is has power...

The fuel pump can not be replaced through the trunk access plate, at least on the 94-97 Accords. The pax sideaccesscoveronly accessed the fuel gauge assy. The fuel pump is on the driver's side (no access plate). Your 98 could be different though.
To be sure I had a bad fuel pump, I rigged a tell-tale light in the pax compartment on pax side to allow me to see each time I started or attempted to start, whether fuel pump was getting power. In my case, the power was there and pump would not run. I found that "hammering" the pump w/ repeated application of power by cycling the keyswitch would start the pump and allow car to start/run until next time it was stopped.
good luck

fyi - on 1998-2008 accords you can replace the pump through the access panel.
when replacing the pump...
step one: do not smoke.
roll down all the windows and open the trunk(of course)
ground yourself(touch a piece of exposed metal on the vehicle body)
