Do you need a new oil pump if your vacuum pump fails?
The oil pump is a variable vane type if i remember correctly. When the vacuum pump goes it wrecks the motor on these also. Someone here recently just had the vacuum pump fail on his 1.0 and it wrecked his motor. So yes, you need a new engine.
What happens if the oil pump belt goes bad?
If the timing or oil pump drive belt simply broke the vacuum pump would still be OK. I bet pump went bad first and started dragging cam back hard. If the separate short oil pump belt went bad then the oil light would have come on and time left to save the engine.

Why is my RD28T head not working properly?
The reason for no. 6 cylinder being the problem is that the cooling vanes in the head are too tightly made so the water going to cool the last cylinder flows a bit too slow. This is what I’ve been told. Would be happy to have a bit more details from a guy who has done this operation many times.
