To the best of my knowledge, if the pulley is turning when the engine is running and there are no leaks from the water pump, it should be fine.

A2: It shouldn't make a squealling sound , either. It can work passably and still have a bad bearing and/or seal. A bad bearing, though it may not leak, is a sign of imminent failure.
