The thermocouple tells the gas valve to supply gas to the burners. If the thermocouple is bad then the furnace will not work or the pilot will not stay lit. A properly working one will have a reading of at least 12 milliamps.

Squuze the upper hose when thermo is closed. You will feel water circulating when thermostat is open. If it is circulating you are ok. Not much can go wrong internally, they either leak or the bearings go out which make noise but you can see or hear that..
