I would say at a guess that with that mileage there is every chance that you will need inserts and a top insulator blocks

Recently the carpet behind the driver's seat has
This would be water from the heating unit beneath the seat. Somehow this has gotten damaged. Consequently engine cooling system water now is leaking onto the floor and into the carpet. You mave have to remove the seat entirely, or it may be possible to access the heater and remove it for repair, without removing the seat.
