So, with your A/C button in the "off" position, your compressor clutch is still engaged?

Check the switch on the firewall that the slide connects to see if it moves when you slide the interior lever.

If you unplug the A/C thermostat or the A/C pressure switch, does the A/C still run?

I hate to ask, but is the AC button in the "off" position, meaning it is poking out and the blue light on the button is not lit?

Compressor will run on defrost. If you mean it's just always blowing cold, move the temp back and forth and listen for the door to move, and you should feel the resistance. Do it kinda forceful
