You can’t “run the heat pump and a/c at the same time” because it’s a single unit. There’s a valve that slides when powered to switch the hot side with the cold side. That’s literally the only difference between a/c and a heat pump.

You are correct, but they probably have backup electric heat. Heat strips were being engaged along with a/c.
