switch or stuck heater valve

When the resister starts to go, you usually start to lose your fan speeds one at a time untill the highest setting is all you have left, least that has been my experience.

if the fan is blowing and you have no control over the speed its usually the blower resistor.

Air will still blow out if you have the recirculation button off. Not full blast.. but see if anything comes out if you have recirculation on with the fan turned all the way off.
