If the "web_services" resource group is running on database-2.hehe.org and I do a hard reset on it, it fails over fine and within a few seconds the DB is running on database-1.hehe.org. I turn the system back on and everything is fine. It comes back online with no issue and everything continues to run normally on database-1. crm_mon shows no errors at all, the node simply goes into online status.

But, when it comes back into online status it seems like pacemaker tries to move the resources back to database-1, fails and then the services get restarted on database-2 because they are moving back.

Check out resource-stickiness.  Set it to 100 (or so) and you should get the behaviour you want.
If not, you might find database-1 is starting pgsql or drbd at boot time.

Can PaceMaker not check to see if the resources in the cluster are already running, and if so, just become an available node for the next time?

Once node-1 is online, all the services on node-2 get interrupted trying to failback, which fails(probably just because drbd is already in use on the other end).
