the thermostat is prob broke take it out if the rad gets hot buy a new thermostat if you still have no luck take the radiator out and flush it thought if it has a good folw check the pipes. put a hose in the pipes and see if it comes out. or it could just need bleedin good luck any way

Pump should have a gasket with it, no sealant reaquired, just make sure the surface is clean.

Sounds like you have a blockage or/and a dud thermostate
