Doesn't the water just fall over the overflow and down the tube into the sump?

Oh god, that's probably right, remember, i'm a noob with sumps... Ok, now what about the return pipe? how would i connect the pump to the return pipe?

Hmm, actually the hose it came with has some weird swing check valve on it, and if i kept it on it wouldn't be able to connect with the cornerflow. idk if i should take it off or not...

Well, assuming the size of the tubing and the size of the nozzle on the pump are compatible, you'd just push/twist the tubing onto the output of the pump. If there's a specific pump that goes with that sump setup, there may be a special type of locking connector, etc. on the end of the tube that goes on there, but if not, some people use zip ties for extra security in holding the tubing onto the pump output.
