Problem #2 - Try hitting the pump with a hammer.  If that doesn't work (or
if the pump stops again) take it off and inspect the points on it.  Good
chance they just need a sort-out and all will be well again.

Aftermarket pumps have their own issues (e.g. supplying too much pressure,
ticking constantly rather than stopping after a few ticks, needing a return
pipe to the tank for excess fuel that has been pumped but not burned in the
engine), so you are as well spending a bit of time trying to fix the old one
before you head down the replacement route.
