You won't burn up the fuel pump, but may damage the starter. Yes, you CAN burn up the fuel pump by trying to start the engine with no fuel available. As with any kind of pump, running the pump dry damages the pump.
If it is loud (louder than other GM cars of the same era with fuel injection) I'd suggest you get it replace BEFORE you are stranded. Running out of fuel damages the fuel pump. They all do make some noise, but the noise is not "loud" Sometimes the baffels in the tank break and pieces of the baffels lodge in the fuel pump.
If there is fuel in the tank and it is making it's way to the fuel pump, and the fuel pump will not pump fuel, the pump is obviously defective. Replace the fuel pump with a new one.
The fuel pump switch is what tells the fuel pump what pressure to pump fuel into the fuel rail

No, when you purchase a fuel pump you get only the fuel pump. The wiring that connects to the fuel pump is located on the vehicle and should not be removed when you remove the old pump.
that can be because of the fuel pump relay,a severed wire to the fuel pump or the fuel pump fuse is blown.
No, the fuel pump relay engages and sends voltage to the fuel pump. The fuel pump requires 12 V DC to operate properly. A fuel pressure test will verify the condition of the fuel pump.
There is only three reasons that a mechanical fuel pump will not pump fuel. The fuel filter maybe clogged and need replacement. It may also be the fuel pump diaphragm is busted requiring you to replace the fuel pump. You might be out of fuel.
Check the fuel pump, fuel pump wiring, fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuse.
