You must free her for the remaining period, then do the permanent Nikah. You say to her "I free you for the remaining period," then she becomes non mahram, and then you can do the Nikah. She does not need to observe 'iddah period as well, because she was with the same person, yourself.

Allah Who Created man and woman and e very thing, Knows their needs and requirements, hence He Sent the True Religion (Islam) with the most comprehensive rules covering every area in life. Rules of marriage of man and woman have details and contains conditions. Needs of man are not always similar to the Needs of woman and this is the reason of the difference in some rules for men and women. Mut’ah marriage has many conditions and it aims to save people from sins. Husband in any case is not allowed to hurt the feelings of his wife and he must treat her as he treats himself as a respected human being.

Wassalam.

If the time period was not mentioned in the contract, it becomes permanent according to many scholars, that is why you need to recite Talaq in front of two pious witnesses when she is not in her menses to terminate that contract. After that divorce, you both can read a temporary marriage mentioning the Mahr and period.

Temporary marriage is conducted in the modern era just like permanent marriage is conducted with slight differences between the temporary and permanent marriage. Both types of marriage need agreement between both man and woman, woman should not be presently married or during Iddah period. Mahr (Dowry) is must from the man to the woman. Permanent marriage end on valid divorce or death, while temporary marriage ends in the end of the agreed period of it or by leaving the remaining period by the husband.

'In temporary marriage, both man and woman agree on a period of the marriage as well as the Mahr of the marriage. She tell him: Zawwajtoka Nafsi ALAL Mahril Ma'loom lilmuddatil Ma'loomah. He replies her: Qabiltu Al-Tazweej LINAFSI lilmuddatil Ma'loomah ALAL Mahril Ma;loom.

From a shar'i perspective, you do not need consent from your father, but I would advice you against engaging in mut'ah, and focus on recovering from the previous relationship, and hopefully finding new marriage. 

As a society, one who engages in such things becomes less wanted for marriage, and our Islamic values require that we stay chaste and modest, aiming at building a family. 

Also, although shar'i wise, you do not need your father's consent, but ethically, morally and socially, involving family in these things is definitely important.

This Muslim woman should not be living with a non-Mahram person anyway. So, she needs to remove herself from that situation. 

As for the man doing mut'ah with her, that's going to be between them, and if they both meet the valid /halal requirements for it.

If the man has willingly forfeited the remaining time of the Mut'ah marriage, then it has ended. If you both want to continue together,you need to recite a new Mut'ah marriage contract with fresh time and Mahr.

If he was not willing to end the Mut'ah and said what he said in anger with out meaning it,the Mut'ah remain valid till the end of the time or deliberate termination of the Mut'ah from him.

As she is still a virgin, from a shar'i side, she would still need father's consent, unless she is completely socially and financially independent and free to make her own choices. 

Of course, whatever the case may be, morally, it is still very important to have family involved and seek the blessings of elders and approval when it comes to marriage.

If you have reasonable possibility that she is or might be from Ahlul Kitab, then yes, remembering that you need permission from your Muslim wife ( if any) for having Mut'ah marriage with a woman from Ahlul Kitab.

'If she does not belong to Ahlul Kitab, there is question of Mut'ah with her so never flirt with her because it is a sinful act which might lead to major sin.

If the required conditions were met at the time of the reciting of the contract, then it would be valid, and it is permissible for the female to wave her right to receive the agreed upon mahr. She is able to forfeit it after the contract, if she wants to.

If the virgin girl has no living father but has a paternal grand father, his permission or approval will be enough. If she has no living father nor paternal grand father, then she can decide herself for herself and does not need a permission from other family members.
