The reason you can't find the power steering pump is because the steering system is electric and won't have a pump or fluid,you need to go to the dealer for repairs

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. What is wrong with my steering wheel?

That is strange because they are unrelated.

The power steering works using a pump that has a pulley and is turned by the Serpentine belt. Where you put the fluid, did it look like this?

https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+jeep+grand+cherokee+power+steering+pump

The Brake Master Cylinder has a similar reservoir and also has a brake booster that uses vacuum power from the engine to give you a mechanical advantage. Both are shown here

My check steering assist light comes on but car drives fine.

The power steering warning light coming on in your car is bound to make you worried, especially as it tends to coincide with a total loss of power steering, making it much harder for you to steer your vehicle.
If you've ever driven a car with manual steering, you know how hard it can be. For vehicles with hydraulic power steering, the most common reason for the power steering warning light is that the fluid level is low. This is often caused by a leak in one of the hoses.
If you're driving along and you notice your power steering light come on which looks like a steering wheel with an exclamation mark next to it- you should park your car in a safe place as soon as you can, taking extra care as you'll be struggling a little with much heavier steering.
Open your bonnet and locate your steering wheel fluid reservoir. This may have an image of a steering wheel on the cap. If not, you may need to consult your owner's handbook to help you find where it is.

Hard Steering

It is a common issue with fords that when the wheels are turned with the vehicle off it will induce air in the power steering system. After the service the power steering system should be bled. It happens when brake service is being performed and I assume the steering wheel was turned a few time to service the air bag hardness. If this is in fact your issue it should get better as you drive it but to be sure you could bleed the system with an adaptor for the reservoir and a vacuum pump.

My engine light just came on this morning but I am having a very hard time turning the steering wheel and it is making a strange sound when I try to turn the wheel.

Hi hope I can help.
First check the power steering pump fluid.
Also check your belt to the power steering. make sure it is not slipping.
After checking both of these and you still have a problem .
you will have to replace your power steering pump.
Hope this helps FixYa

When turning into a parking spot, all of a sudden my steering wheel seemed as though it "Locked Up".. not as it would if the car was shut off, but like I lost power steering. A light came on on the dash. I...

It is most likely you just turned the wheel to the farthest limit of its travel, and the power assist cutout at that point.

Check your fluid level to make sure its up to where it should be.

If fluid is fine, I wouldn't worry about it...it is fine and a normal occurance.
