You have to be sure that there is no standing water on the equipment pad if that is where you plan on testing the motor. You do not want to be standing in water, even if it is just a small amount, while you test and hook up the electrical to the motor.

You can test the pump motor be safely and temporarily hooking the electrical power source to the motor. You have to be sure that you also connect the ground wire in conjunction with the other wires. Follow the diagram on the motor nomenclature (ID) plate. With the power now on after the above installation, then you may briefly switch on the power to the motor. Run the power/motor only long enough to determine that it will run ~ one (1) to two (2) minutes. Running the motor any longer will damage the pump seal and possibly other components. k

Is it wrong to drain your plaster pool when the temperature is above 100?

Why would you drain your pool just becasue the water is hot? Never drain your inground pool unless you have first cut holes in the bottom of the pool to keep it from floating. If the water table in your area is high enough, your inground pool could "float" out of the ground, effectively ruining your pool.

In theory, yes it does make a difference. However, the practical reality is that in many climates (like Texas), the pool will warm sufficiently to use without a heater for most of the year.
