The pedal has a pair of potentiometers that are used (this is a typical approach in case one of the potentiometers fails there's still a signal to the DME and the car can "limp" home). I'll tell you what the wiring is for my '07 MY and you can get some ideas from that:

The pedal value sensor has 6 wires in its harness.

First potentiometer -- leads 1 (GRN/BLK); 6 (VIO); 5 (GRN/BRN):
Lead #1 is the ground (provided by DME); Lead #6 is the "wiper" part of the potentiometer; Lead #5 is the "fixed resistance" part of the potentiometer.

Second potentiometer has the same setup: Lead #3 (GRN/GRY) is ground; Lead #4 (GRN/YEL) is the wiper; Lead #2 (RED/VIO) is the fixed resistance.

Sorry I can't help you with the other items. You really need to get a set of wiring diagrams for your car. It's worth buying an AllDataDIY subscription.
