3 wire well pump , wired directly to pressure switch?

It's set right against the wall. Are these valves rebuildable?

Yes. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/utica-boiler-leaky-valve-2.54508/ talks about a similar valve in a different location. If the leak is at the stem, try tighening the packing nut a bit. If that does not do it, replace or at least add to the packing. Packing comes in different forms, but one that does not need a particular size is the string-like stuff.

P also = E^2 * R, and you can use that to figure out what you need.

A inductive load is different. Power factor at the operating AC frequency needs to be part of the formula.

A AC run cap is used in many applications for a reason on inductive loads. R will not tell you what they are doing. ESR will.

The new packing worked awesome . It was a graphite string. I finally got an current reading off the pump. It draws a total of 12 amps when running and runs allot less now that the pressures are set properly. Now I'll just have to monitor the electricity bill. You guys have been a great help! Thank you!

Edit. Someone asked if I could see anything down the well. I shined a light down and can just see the top of water. Nothing else
