First things first, taking out the thermostat actually HELPS your car overheat so you should put it back in, you see it works two ways, in the winter it keeps coolant in the engine so it gets warm faster and stays that way, in the summer it allows the coolant in the radiator to dissipate heat by staying there longer, taking out the thermostat just lets it all get to the same high temperature.

Secondly, when you say coolant not going into radiator, well that screams bad water pump, with the car running and radiator cap off observe the coolant that you can see, is it swirling and moving all around? if no then your water pump is bad, if it is then flow may be low, radiator may be clogged. If you have been using anything but 50/50 coolant water mix then a lot of water passages may be clogged with corrosion, a good flush might help, but it sounds like you are beyond that stage.
