If I'm not mistaken, the fan will only turn on when idling if your directional settings are on defrost front windshield (most right) and defrost front windshield and feet (2nd from the right). In this setting the compressor is turning on.

As for the AC not working, I would dealer that.

move the temp on the cold side not the heat side its sounds weird but it works for me. test it out

if your ac still doesnt blow cold after awhile itll be your compressor. mine had the same kinda problems and i took it to honda and they said the compressor went out. just check that if anything.
