What would cause the pipes to rattle whenever the hot water recirculating pump is running?

I don't even know what a recirculating pump does but when fast moving water hits a corner or elbow it has a force that can move the pipe. Most likely the pipes need a bit more tie downs. Hopefully the pipes aren't in the walls. Get someone to cut the water on and you go hunt the rattle.

What would cause hot water to constantly run in the sump pump well?

The hot water is probably water running through the pump and recirculating in the sump. Is the pump running continually? Water that isn't ejected by the pump and is recirculated is being heated by the pump through friction and the motor heat energy thereby becoming hot. Find out why the pump isn't shutting off or the reason the water isn't being ejected out the pipe.
