sounds like the clutch is bad on the AC compressor. theres a magnet inside the clutch that engages, most of the time you can buy the 30 to 50 dollar magnet and replace it instead of the compressor. i dont even think youll need to take the compressor out since its ontop.. But youll need a special "puller" tool for that

no idea on the powersteering. sorry

is there even the slightest change of engine speed or steering noise when it does not work.

You can test your clutch on a/c by disconnecting its connector and see if there is power to it while the a/c is turned on. One wire for ground and one for power so just throw a multimeter on it if it is digital it does not matter which polarity you choose.
If there is no power to it then the problem is elsewhere. start with the above first.

Should just be like an AC pulley or clutch puller you can get at the parts store for a rental
