The only thing to go out on the water pump are the bearings and seal. If it is leaking from where the shaft is, or if you can wiggle the shaft itself then it's shot.
The easiest way to know if your thermostat is bad is if your car is running cold and never heats up. The thermostat is designed to open up at a certain temp, but when they go bad they will open up too soon or get stuck open so your car will never get to operating temp.
