For example, a vocal sample that is scattered through the remix in various places, or a drum sample.
Does software isolate the parts the artist wants to play with, or do the artists generally manage to get copies of the original recordings to cut and paste?

It really depends. If it’s an official remix, then you can pretty much guarantee that original files were given and used.
For less official remixes, a producer can use software or other means to isolate the instruments or vocals they want. Or, depending on the popularity of the song, you can find isolated tracks/samples already online. Some artists will release instrumentals or vocals only tracks themselves as a way to encourage remixing. Jay-Z, for instance, released all the vocals of his “Black Album” specifically so that people could remix it as they so desired.
