So I'm not sure if it is a sensor issue or the pump issue itself.

Having said that, according to OBD2 reading the coolant temperature is maintaining around 100-105 degC (not F) under daily drive. Is it normal?
The 2E81 code should indicate a slow pump speed deviation from the max pump speed of 250 RPM. It will not show a pump speed of zero. The car will not overheat in this condition. 2E82 is the code for a completley failed pump i.e. Zero RPM; where the car WILL overheat. Get the pump changed very soon, before it completely fails.
