Two options. Change the fixture to a keyed pull-chain, or add a pull-chain adapter to the existing fixture. Both available from Home Depot and others for about $3.
A pull switch is generally a length of cord that is attached to a socket on the ceiling. These types of switches are mostly found in bathrooms, which saves wet hands from coming into contact with an electrical light switch.
yes
I had the same experience. If the fan turns on/off with its pull chain but the light doesn't, then the switch behind the light's pull-chain is broke and needs to be replaced.

Ceiling pull switch on an electrical diagram--see link
Open up the ceiling box and disconnect the blue wire coming from the light and connect it to the black wire coming from the fan. Be sure and put a wire nut on the wire where the light was connected before you removed it. The wall switch is controlling power to the wire where the fan is connected so when you connect the blue fan wire to that connection you will be sending power to both the fan and light from the wall switch.
The string activates a switch in the fan.
