Why do you have water running out of your reservoir but your gauge is not on hot?

Your temp gage may be malfunctioning
or
you may have a head gasket leak that is making excess pressure build up in the cooling system.
Have the coolant temp sensor tested for accuracy.
This would also prevent the cooling fan from coming on and cause the overheating condition.

Bad water pump , problem with engine cooling fan ( if it is actually running hot and not a problem with the gauge or sending unit )
Can you blow a head gasket by pouring water into reservoir tank?
No. Hot or cold. This can be done by running the engine at the same time to ensure the fluid mixes. The danger would be introducing cold water into a hot engine which could crack the block.

First determine if the engine is really running hot if it is check to see if you are low on water, or could be the thermostat is not opening.The thermostat allows water to enter the engine block after it reaches a certain temp.

Can you troubleshoot no heat in a 97 s10 blazer 4x4?
Check the coolant level, be sure it is to the full mark on the reservoir. Check the temperature gauge, when warmed up it should read aprox 200 degrees F, if not the thermostat may be stuck open, replace it. If the reservoir is full, with the engine running and the temp gauge reads aprox 200 degrees, feel the heater hoses with your hands, they should both be hot. If one is hot and the other is warm or cold, the heater is plugged and needs to be flushed. If both heater hoses are hot I would suspect the temperature blend door is at fault.
