Silicone has it's place but a water pump is not it. Shelac or copper coat does a better job. The gasket may swell and seal on it's own, if not, the powder form of stop leak should seal it or do over with different sealant.
NO. You should NEVER use any type of sealant on the transmission pan.

There is a weep hole on the underside of the water pump. If it is leaking out of that weep hole, it is defective and needs replacing. If the gasket is leaking which is unlikely if the pump is an OEM pump, you need to just go ahead and replace the pump anyway. If you go to all the trouble and labor to remove the pump in order to replace the gasket it would be foolish to not just go ahead and install a new water pump instead of reinstalling the old one, which may fail at any time.
