Sorry to say, and I know it doesn't make much sense, but you most likely have a blown headgasket. I'm in the midst of replacing the headgasket myself on my 2002 Sentra. Not sure why, but it seems this is not an uncommon issue with these cars. Exhaust gas is getting into the coolant galleys within the head, which creates an airbubble of sorts that creates the overheating problem. Don't drive it around too much or you risk warping the head. Take it to a mechanic. I thought it was a thermostat myself, hoping against hope. The cold air from the heater is a result of poor coolant circulation through the heater core due to the void created by the rupture in the headgasket.
