you should stick to your original post. easier to follow.

the water pump can make a squeeling noise when bad. if it is, it is on its last legs before breaking apart.

yes, any leak will cause low fluid and overheat.

look at the thermostat for possible as well as your radiator issue from the other post.

get it pressure checked to verify any leaks and have them listen to your noise. it may be just a belt.
