Well, dog my cats!
Why would someone remove the aux water pump? Will reinstalling it perhaps make the HVAC work as it should?
I feel like these are incredibly basic questions, so thank you for humoring me.

Someone bypassed / deleted the aux pump on your car. You'll probably find the electrical connector unplugged below the washer reservoir.
Why would someone do this? To save money. A replacement pump is ~$100 or so, and the only function is to keep the heater from gradually cooling off when sitting at a stoplight in cold weather. The pump is basically useless in warm weather and with engine RPM above idle. It won't fix any of your issues.
