Sand in a pool won't hurt anything, it just won't look pretty. If your filter isn't working properly, vacuuming to waste isn't going to solve the problem. It will throw out the sand you vac from the pool, but when you turn the pump on again, more sand is going to blow into the pool.
I'm not sure what you mean by using a regular house vac. You don't mean the vac you use on your carpets, do you?? If so, not a good plan!
