New fan clutch and overheating [M103]

Hello!
I've got my 300TE ressurected from hell some time ago.
I have installed a new Airtex water pump (it's crap, don't buy it, the pulley shaft was pressed too deeply (5 mm more), so we had to fab a spacer), new AVA fan clutch (I was advised...) and literally new Behr radiator. A/C is present, but not filled yet (I swapped the engine 2 weeks ago).

Everything is okay, but it's slightly overheating in city low speed driving in low RPMs in [D] position. Got 105 degrees once tho the revs were about 600 RPM.

So...
1. is that the water pump?
2. fan whine makes me sick! it's like a bomb airplane under 3000 RPM, and usually I don't drive slow so it whines pretty often. What should I buy? and will it help?
I can buy Hella fan clutch, also SACHS, Vierol (Vaico) and MB original from a dealer which is 300 USD here. I don't know, if it would ever help me. Or I should go for electro fan drive?
