I think someone put a carpet in there by mistake.

the carpet was no mistake. i'm hoping it will make the engine quieter. any thoughts on the rest of the nonsense?

Looks pretty normal to me...

Those are not cracks, if that is what you are asking. Just casting marks. If they are raised, then in general you should assume casting marks.

I don't think that Easy-Off is safe for aluminum... according to the MFG.

EasyOff is the shit, but watch your eyes and use ventilation.

Its fine, just dont soak it over night. It will do fine for getting the coke off of the piston top and heads.
