You have good reason to be suspicious of the pump. I had one fail after a few hundred miles and its replacement failed to pump a single drop straight from the box. Anothe r person on this forum posted a nearly similar experience last week. I installed the rebuilt original pump and the trouble ceased.
Re: accelerator pump: When the engine is stopped, the accelerator pump should pump the same amount of fuel as it does when the engine is running. If it isn't, it's either faulty or there is no fuel in the fuel bowl.
That fuel has either leaked out, or there wasn't any to begin with. Either the fuel pump didn't fill it, or the needle is stuck in the seat, float is stuck , the accelerator pump isn't working, etc.
