If the water in a cylinder block freezes and expands they fail which in theory saves the block from damage.
It is not 100% though I have seen blocks that have frozen and cracked between the freeze plugs.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

I do still want to check out the water pump and probably replace it, just in case. I also will have to drain the water out for winterization. But I'm wondering if maybe something clogged the "hole" antifreeze was leaking from? Or is water not as molecularly small as antifreeze?

Add pressure to system start looking for the driibble. Follow it to the source.
More than likely Waterpump.

"I also noticed my belt now squeals. Could it just be rad fluid on the belt, or the water pump pulley causing the friction?.."
If you loosen the fan belt you should be able to reach up and turn the pump to see whether it feels stiff/notchy ..or otherwise not healthy ..
Cheers, Ian
If it is a small bore it could also be leaking from the by pass hose which is best to replace with a small piece of 1/2 id heater hose.
Yes the anti freeze mixture on the belt could cause it to squeal.
