As Landy10 say's it's an after market fuel pump. I would guess it has been fitted because the in tank pump is shagged
Sounds like you have bought a real dog, I hope it was very cheap.
Think wires going in back but electric fuel pump it is and a very good one at that,

It's a daphragm pump. They're supposed to make that noise. It's when they don't you start worrying. As Datatek says, it's probably been installed to overcome a knackered pump in the tank. Only cure is to renew the intank pump and then you can do away with this one.

Yes. It means dropping the tank and a new pump and sender assembly. Some people have cut a hole in the boot floor to do this but that's up to you. Someone like Island 4x4 would be the best place to get one.

you can buy a new fuel pump, you don't need to change the tank. you do need to get the tank down to replace it unless you want to cut a hole in the floor of the car. there are apparently instructions in here somewhere on exactly where to cut.
before you buy anything try and find out why the extra pump was fitted. ask the previous owner if he knows.

just out of curiosity, what about buying a small (exhaust) cotton reel, with the right size thread, as the original bolt , holding the pump to the bulkhead, remove the bolt, screw in the cotton reel, fix the pump back on with a nut and washer?
just might make the sound less inside( same as the eas pump?
