With the cap on and no coolant flowing out to the radiator's upper hose,
did that generate a lot of pressure on the water pump? Could it have been
damaged?

Doubtful, it's not a constant displacement pump.

What usually damages car water pumps is no water. They need the water
to "lubricate" the bearing. Hence the reason for running some
antifreeze in the water at all times. It contains lubricants for the
water pump.
