Sump pump is low pressure so it may hold. There is a proper disconnect available that would work there.
One thing that did catch my eye is the dark elbow. Is that ABS. If so, did you use transition cement/solvent? |

You should have a check valve to prevent back flow. Something like this. » www.sumppumpsusa.com/flo ··· -10.html |

Are you talking about the clamps? They should be tightened down. |

That will likely leak / fail over time, PVC will deform from the pressure from the clamps, it should be glued and if you need to have a section removable, you should be using a union. |

If you modified the connector that you are using then it is not ok. Go buy a new one. |

The clamps he used are made for use with PVC. They will be fine. I've used clamps like that for years and have had no problems with them.
