The fan is running all of the time that the engine temp reads high? If so, then the fan control system is working as it should. At higher road speeds the fans may not be energized by design.
If the temp drops at higher speeds, that is because the motion of the vehicle makes more air go thru the rad.
Pump does not create pressure, heat does.
Sounds like it could be the stat not opening or not opening enough.
A rad that is fouled up will also act this way.
Coolant level ok? -you did not say
Those high temps create high pressures and put the hoses at risk.
