Will a car still drive if the steering gear box needs to be welded back on?

In short, probably not for long, and definitely not safely.
In long, the steering gearbox needs to be mounted to the frame so it can remain static while it translates the rotational motion of your steering shaft into the left-to-right motion of your tie rods and wheels. However, if you've ever tried to turn the steering wheel without the aid of Power Steering, you'll know that there is a fairly large amount of force needed to turn the wheels. So, you'd probably want your steering gearbox mounted solidly.

Can you drive a vehicle with the power steering pulley on it without messing something up?
I'm not real sure what you are asking. If the pump has failed but the pulley still spins freely then yes, you can drive it for awhile that way without doing any real harm. If the pulley is completely frozen up but on a separate belt then you can take that belt off and drive it for awhile. Bear in mind though that a vehicle built with power steering needs that assist to be safe. It's not the same as a vehicle built without power steering. So, for awhile you are probably okay but you should get it fixed as soon as you are able to do so.
What should you do if there is water on the floor around your unit inside but when you shut it off it is still cooling?
If you mean that the system continues to run even when it is turned off, it could be that the switch has welded itself in the 'on' position, and needs to be changed out.
