The pedal could be a transmission retarder although you have a very early coach to have such a feature and Newell rarely put them on. There is a thread on this subject earlier for an early 90's model.
The linoleum is put down from one side of the coach to the other before the anything is assembled in the coach. It acts a vapor barrier and underlayment. You are certainly correct that the carpet padding has a million staples. I had to remove almost all of them to replace my carpet with wood laminate flooring.
