To be more precise, if my pump is in a well usually how big is the body of water the pump is in? And is this pocket of water connected to other pockets? Where does water come from if there hasn’t been any rain for 2 months?

Well water is replenished by the water table, which is the level at which water is found in the ground. The water table can be replenished by precipitation such as rain or snow, but it can also be replenished by other sources such as underground streams or aquifers. The rate at which the water table is replenished will depend on a variety of factors, including the location of the well, the geology of the area, and the rate of recharge. In some cases, well water may need to be replenished manually, such as by drilling deeper into the water table or by using a pump to bring water to the surface.
Under persistent dry weather conditions, the water level in your well may drop below the submersible pump, causing a loss of water. In some cases, the water level may only temporarily drop below the pump when water is being frequently pumped from the well during showers or laundry.
