Could be as simple as an air lock in your fuel lines. Its best to never let your tank get below one quarter full as it can cause moisture to build up in your tank as well. It does not cost any more to keep a full tank than to let it run empty then fill it.
No this does not affect the fuel pump. It will affect the spark though. Hit the gas tank in the center a few times. If it starts then replace the fuel pump. Unfortunetly pumps with a few yaers on them will die when ran out of gas. If it doesn't start pull one of the spark plug wires, insert a screwdriver and put it close to the engine. crank the engine and watch for a spark. if there is no spark then replace the crank shaft sensor. before you replace the fuel pump.
If you hit the tank and it ran? The fuel pump is bad. By striking the tank you jarred the pump, causing what mechanics call "The last ride" Peice of sound advise, Replace with ac delco pump. The zone pumps go out usaly within months if not days
its very common for the fuel pump to fail when you run out of fuel. Try smacking the bottom of the gas tank hard a few times while someone cranks. This may free up the pump. If it doesn't then a pump will be needed if you verified you have no fuel pressure.
