It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow

It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.

What does it mean when you take off the radiator cap and there is no thermostat in it and it throws water out?

If there is no thermostat in the radiator, the coolant can flow too quickly through the system and fail to properly regulate the temperature. This can cause the coolant to boil over and be expelled from the radiator. Installing a thermostat can help control the flow of coolant and prevent overheating.
