Heatmeter? Do you mean coolant temperture sensor?
There are a couple things that will make you overheat like this.
1. insufficient flow through radiator, whether it be the coolant through the radiator or the air through the radiator. Not enough flow will not let the coolant come down.
2. Blown head gasket. Normally this is seen while cruising at higher RPM. Due to hot exhaust gasses getting into the coolant, the cooling system not able to hold pressure due to a bad seal at the head.
3. The fans are not coming on, so while sitting still you're not getting the flow through the radiator that it requires to stay cool.
4. Bad thrrmostat. Might not be opening up till a higher temperature than normal.
As for your A/C not blowing cold. That could be a variety of problems.
1. Bad/Nonexistent A/C belt
2. Low on freon refrigerant.
3. The door in the HVAC unit that switches between the A/C air or the heater core could be disconnected from the cable that controls it. Thus, giving you Heat all the time.
To at least tell if the A/C system is functioning, turn the AC on. Both fans should come on. If they don't you've already found a problem. Then, look at the compressor. If the compressor's clutch engages, you have at least enough refrigerant in the system to at least get cool air. If it doesn't engage then it's more than likely low on refrigerant. There is a pressure sensor that will keep the compressor from kicking on if it's low. This is because the refrigerant has the lubricant needed to keep the compressor functioning. If it's low the compressor will self-destruct.
