Problem is, I can't figure out how it connects to the motor or what needs to be glued/replaced. I see when the tape is stretched out that a rubber roller (2nd pic, figure 2) makes contact with the spindle (2nd pic, figure 1) coming up from the aforementioned disc.
My question is... what's supposed to be driving this disc that drives the tape spindles?

That disc is the motor. See the attached pix. Often with Sony decks, the gear timing is off and/or the mode switch (which controls the motor) is dirty/bad. I haven't worked one in the last 10 years, but there are others here that may have lots to offer.
Cheers,
