I want a remote start button in the engine bay. Do I just attach the 2 wires from the button to the the big pole and ignition tab on the starter directly?

From the solenoid to the big + pole works perfectly fine.

I'd just eliminate the button/switch and leave the wire there. Wrap it up somewhere. putting it through a switch adds one more thing to fault-check when you could just tap the wire to the battery...

I have a wire running from the solenoid into the engine compartment near the battery + terminal. I soldered the end of the wire so it wasn't freyed and tie wrapped it to the + batttery cable so it doesn't flop around. When I need to turn the engine over I just touch the soldered end to the + terminal. You have to be agressive and firmly connect the wire end to the terminal otherwise you get arching and fuse the wire to the battery terminal. It is really no big deal to hook up and can be real handy if you are dealing with a hot start problem and have not correctly fixed it.
