Yes. One and the same. If you do not have premium sound the speakers are powered directly from the headunit. The only issue could be broken speaker wires at all 4 speakers. I'd test with a speaker directly to the back of the headunit to rule that out.
No problem. ...and most people think I'm the forum *******.

The speaker wires go in different directions immediately out of the HU don't they? So the chance of simultaneously breaking all 4 wires is pretty low.
As has been mentioned, the only thing it could be is an issue with the receiver. You should be able to find a new one with the install kit for under $100. Or try to find a stock one from a junkyard or whatever.

The FM in my 98's stock radio doesn't work....only the AM comes in clear as a bell lol.
OP, a stock HU can be had pretty cheap from eBay or the junk yard. Of course Quadratec has some HU's starting at $70.

If the HU won't turn on and there are no lights or anything on it, or the clock, check the power/fuse/ground. If it's getting power and it won't turn on, you need a new HU. May as well get an aftermarket one. You'll need the dash install kit and wire harness. Metra sells both and it will be about $30. As far as a HU, I'd recommend Alpine, Clarion or Eclipse.
