so if you jumper the connector and turn the key, and the fuel pump doesn't turn on.....what exactly have we harmed?

No.

If you jump it and it works, then its operating like it should.

If you jump it and it doesn't work, then nothing happened and therefore nothing has been harmed. It also suggests the the fuel pump circuit is completed by the ECU...which I'm starting to doubt, since the pump receives constant voltage when on and requires no changing input from the ECU.

Jump the connector, turn the key and report back.

Np. Fuel leaks are no fun, better to handle them before you bolt everything up and take a spin around the block.
