The "Waterpump" is necessary to drive the filter. Every tank NEEDS a filter to remove the ammonia that is created by fish breathing and pooing in there.
no not really, as long as you clean them out at least once (or more) every two weeks a filter is not needed.
A cycled filter is a fundamental neccessity for successfull fishkeeping. The basic "Rules for successfull fishkeeping are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (more is better) Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. (this changes poisonous Ammonia into relatively harmless Nitrate) :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water repaced every week.(This reduces the build up of nitrates) If you follow the above rules then your fish stand a chance. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened lifespan.

Goldfish need more space than what people may believe; one goldfish needs a 20 gallon tank, and you need an additional 10 gallons per fish after (so 2 goldfish in 30 gallons)This is not just about their potential size (which is big), but the amount of waste they produce. The old adage of inches of fish per gallon is completely incorrect when it comes to goldfish due to being high waste producers.
