At top of descent number 2 throttle stuck at 92%; unable to move the throttle. Descended with Engines 1 and 3 at idle. Number 2 throttle remained physically stuck in the same position throughout the descent. At 10;000 FT Captain took control of the aircraft and First Officer assumed pilot not flying duties. Completed the Engine Shutdown Checklist and made an approach in IMC conditions. At approximately 700-800 FT executed a missed approach due to a headwind windshear alert. Flew a 2 Engine Missed Approach and landed uneventfully on a different runway.
DC10 First Officer discovers the number two thrust lever is stuck at 92% N1 when starting descent. The descent is continued to 10;000 FT where the engine is shut down and the Captain takes the controls for landing. A windshear alert at 800 FT results in a go-around with a second approach to a different runway being successful.
