Your car will still steer but it will feel very heavy.
If your power steering fails, you may experience difficulty in steering the vehicle, making it harder to control direction. However, the steering wheel typically does not lock; instead, it becomes heavier to turn due to the loss of hydraulic assistance. This can make maneuvering the vehicle challenging, especially at low speeds. It is important to address power steering issues promptly to ensure safe driving.

It should last 100,000 miles or more. When it fails, it fails. Running it low of fluid will shorten it's life.
Yes, a 2000 Land Rover Discovery requires a power steering pump to facilitate the steering system's operation. This pump helps circulate hydraulic fluid, allowing for easier steering and maneuverability. If the pump fails, it can lead to difficulties in steering and may require replacement to restore proper functionality.
Yes, but it should be looked at as soon as possible. This is because it is a safety hazard. Vehicles that originally had power steering installed and then it fails does not drive like a vehicle that never had power steering. There is s direct relationship between the speed (or movement in reality) of the vehicle and the ease of turning it without power steering assist (or when your power steering is disabled). If you are at a stop for instance, turning the wheel is much more difficult then a moving vehicle and turning it and this should be taken into account when driving a vehicle without power steering.
That sound is your power steering pump, if it gets worst than you should change it before it completely fails
