The thermostat could be stuck, or the water pump may be bad. Removing the thermostat you can reconnect the system to see if water flows, if not then check your water pump.

Would a thermostat set for a higher temperature keep the heater from blowing hot air?
No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.

Why is there no water flow in a radiator when cap is off?
The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.
What will cause your radiator over flow to bubble and the car not running hot?
