Hydraulic cement should work as a temporary fix. It sets very quickly in damp conditions. Chances are though, that you may plug one hole and another will start spurting water. Last fall we have very heavy rains and we had to get french drains and a sump pump installed. Haven't had water since.
If you opt to have a sump pump installed get a few quotes as I found prices can vary significantly between contractors.

There is no way to "fix it" for now, do as one suggested, get a bigger sump pump until it warms up. Then you'll have to find a contractor to dug up the entire foundation all around the house and seal the walls of the basement from the outside, put in a drain field with a pipe to your sump then back fill.

Not really any good ways to repair from the inside. United Gilsonite Laboratories makes a line of products called Drylok (http://www.ugl.com/DRYLOKframes02.html) That you can paint the inside of your basement with that will help greatly with this. Look at the Latex Based Drylok Masonary Waterproofer. If the leak is bad look at Drylok Fast Plug. Good luck.

Try to find where the crack is in the wall and you can get cement to repair it. you will have to chip it out some first. There are professionals who do this . they use a high pressure to force the cement into to the crack. You may want to try to get the water to run away from the side of your basement.

Invest in a higher horse power sump pump.

Yopu can't. it's going to easily save ingesting away on the partitions and deterating them. you may seal the interior partitions and carry it off for a whilst however the water will seep however at last.
