Because it is a lot cheaper than the vs pump and it will save you money on power in the future by running on low speed compared to a single speed pump.
My dad took a look at my pictures and how it was set up and said he can't imagine it is 220. So 115 is my best bet

Well, you need to be 100% sure or you may get a motor that won't work. Or be willing to change the wiring.
Open the lid on that rusty box and take a pic of that. Or as jblizz said, if you know which breaker turns off the pump give us a pic of that breaker.
This wiring looks horrendous and no where near up to code.
Odd that only the 1 power wire enters the Goldline box, I guess that is just supplying power to the SWG? So the source of power to the pump must be coming up from the ground in the white pipe to the little junction box and then through the black wire to the rusty box and then to the pump.

That is true, I skipped right over the out of code wiring! Yes, that is how I read it.
You really should pay an electrician to install your new pump and clean up that wiring. The orange wire and yellow wire are definitely out of code. Where does the orange wire go? The black wire going to the rusty box is also probably out of code.
Get us pics of the breakers and we can help you determine whether to order a 120v or 240v pump. Then please call an electrician.

Grey electrical taped wire runs from pump to rusty box, that's the timer. Black cord from timer goes into the outlet. In there is two grounds, and the black bundle is a red, blue, and black wire. Orange cord runs from second switch on the right- that turns on a spot light on the side of the house. Yellow cord runs to SWG which then has a white cord going to SWG piece near filter

That is a mess that should really be fixed. Seems that your pump runs on 115V power, so finding a comparable 2-speed motor is going to be a little more difficult.
Okay, we will definitely have an electrician come out, I guess we need the pump first. The pool store had given me a quote on one pump I found online, marked up And no price match. They said $95 installation but they don't do electrical.. So I guess skip that and just use an electrician first
