Not bad, any of that little rust you might as well get rid of and shoot some paint to seal the metal so it doesnt get worse, since you have the carpet out already. Thats what i did when i replaced my carpet.

No, no problem so far. I actually havent even noticed how close it is to the header. ill check it out but im sure if it is even close you could put a heat shield or heat wrap around the cable or something.

Yeah, im sure if you just use either that aluminum tape or the heat wrap they use for wrapping headers around any spot that runs near the header, it should be ok I would think.
