I want to perform a Select by Attribute selection on a Feature Class in ModelBuilder, but I know the Select by Attribute tool does not work in this situation. I need to perform this function as I want to avoid creating an additional dataset. This task is the second to last one, the last one being a Delete Rows.

You need to feed the output of the iterator (green blob) into a make featurelayer tool which would then feed into your selectbyattribute tool.
You can do it in several different ways. Assuming you already have a selection, you can add new feature to your selection by:
- Select them interactivelly with any of the selections tool(Rectangle, Polygon, freehand), pressing "Ctrl" or "cmd" (Like jake already said). Take notice that if you select a already selected feature, it will be unselected;
- If you wish to add features by a new spatial query, in the spatial query plugin you can use "add to current selection" in the "And use result to" option;
- You can also use the "Select Feature by using an Expression" tool, create a desired expression and use the "add to selection" option;
Note 1: In all methods, the active layer must be the one you need to add or remove features from selection;
Note 2: You can use the same methods to remove a few features from the current selection.
Hope it helps!

You will need to use the Make Feature Layer tool on your feature class first, then you will be able to use Select Layer By Attribute on that.
