The taxonomy-$taxonomy-$term.php template is a template for an archive, a listing. It’s not a template for a post, be it a post of type page, or anything else. It overrides taxonomy-$taxonomy.php, then taxonomy.php, then archive.php followed by index.php
get_month_link() doesn’t use any template. It just creates a link to date based archives. The actual template used is decided by a rather complicated template hierarchy system managed by Core. Essentially there is a cascading sequence of files that will be used if those files are provided by the theme: date.php archive.php index.php
Look at the generated source code (view source in your browser) for the page. Find the body tag and look at the classes.

Once you have identified the file, if the solution isn’t clear, … Read more

The problem is that when there are no posts in the search query, WordPress doesn’t set the post type in the global WP_Query (get_post_type() relies on that).
