Particles (either of algae, bacteria, or waste) that cloud the water are too small for most conventional filter pads to collect, as they are more intended for larger waste. First one must determine the root cause of the cloudiness to properly treat the condition. Easiest way is to determine color, length of tank operation, recent changes to decor, inhabitants or other factors.

Do coldwater fish need a pump in a small tank?

Yes it is inhumane to keep any fish in a tank without a filter if you do not want to put the effort into changing the water frequently. Fish can be kept without if the water is changed regularly, but maintaining the correct water parpmeters is hard. As they will die if the water is not changed regularly a filter must be used if you don't want to put as much time and effort in. IT IS EASIER TO KEEP FISH IN A TANK WITH A FILTER THAN ONE WITHOUT

Is it bad to filter betta fish water?

No it's not a bad thing, as long as the filter is not too strong. If the filter is too strong it could make it difficult for the fish to swim around. It is also not usually necessary to use a filter with a betta, as long as the water is changed about once weekly. A filter would probably lengthen this time, but would NOT eliminate it.
