it could and it would add more than 50% delta v to starship, but refueling it in orbit wouldn't be any more efficient than refueling just a starship that sits in higher energy orbit (so it is equivalent to starship+superheavy in low orbit)

Withdraw from OST would take much more than the stroke of a pen, it would require consent of Senate and approval of the President, it's a major political undertaking.
That is incorrect. The Senate ratified the treaty in 1967, including and approving its Article XVI withdrawal provision. The President can submit notification of withdrawal to the repository nations (UK, Russia, and the US) and it would take effect in a year. The Senate would not be involved in any way - in particular, the Senate is not required to "ratify" withdrawal.

A useful comparison is the U.S. decision to withdraw from the signed-and-ratified INF Treaty in 2019.

Ah, yes. When somebody joins the group and immediately starts a new thread without otherwise participating, it should raise a yellow flag of caution.
