or any other car, mostly the AC removes moisture On my 2008 Corolla, the AC light does not light up when the defroster is turned on. However, it DOES appear that the AC compressor is used. (my 2008 is the same as 2003 thru 2007, it is not the redesigned Corolla which an 09 in the USA.)
Yes, the windshield defroster will turn the A/C compressor on.
Look to see if the compressor is running when the ac is on. If not, then check the Freon pressure, as the compressor won't run if the Freon is low.
I need to know the type of compressor (make) before I can answer that question.

Blown fuse, low of refrigrant, defective compressor, or compressor clutch.

To remove the AC compressor from a 2001 Corolla, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and relieve the AC system pressure by taking it to a certified technician for proper evacuation. Next, remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner, then detach the electrical connectors and the refrigerant lines from the compressor. Finally, unbolt the compressor from its mounting bracket and carefully remove it from the engine bay. Always ensure proper safety measures are followed, including wearing gloves and eye protection.

You don't. It isn't user servicable. You replace the compressor.
Yes. The serpentine belt will still go around the pulley and turn the compressor, but with no power to it, the AC will not work! Another option is to get a new belt that completely bypasses the compressor, but that may be more than you are willing to tackle.
No, those parts do not interchange.
