looks like a pond that is set up to feed a waterfall into the pool but if you use as a pond it can't have fish or water plants because of the chlorinated water from the pool---must be a shut off valve somewhere to control water flow into it---I would leave the water out of it and plant a tropical plant in it --or fil it with ice and throw in the beers for a party
The slit is on the pool side of the bump, and it is a curtain fall, supplied by the pool pump system.
I would guess the exterior box to be a raised planter. It might have been done to keep from having such a noticeable bump that was installed for the curtain fall on the opposite side. I really doubt that this raised box was supposed to be any type of water feature, as the construction does

not appear to be one that is watertight. My guess is that the drain is to drain excess water from the planter, and the pvc pipe is either tied to an irrigation system, or is simply a pipe sleeve that was installed at construction to supply either water or power (for a light) to the planter.
Without being there, that is my guess from the photos.
It looks like a planter! It looks like they put in a sleeve for irrigation also in the bottom of the planter next to the drain. The front has a shear decent insert....fancy name for flush water fall! haha
@Acorn....Seriously? I DID think it might be either a place for a secondary pump for the waterfall if needed or a place for them to have some water plants and fish....
