Correct, if the system is working properly, twisting the knob will tighten or loosen the cable as the parking brakes are manually set assuming all the components are working properly. They need to be lubed well and often neglected. Older ones used to have a zerk fitting.

Not sure as that is not the one I was thinking of. Some hoods from the sandbox have a bracket there to attach a thermal id panel but that is not it.
I would be curious to see a close up pic.
That was done as a unit/field mod and not a common practice.

Is your cooler leaking? These trucks already come with a stout cooler/heat exchanger. There is also a spin on t-filter easy to change under the hood in addition to the one in the pan.
Years ago when I had replaced the shock and some of the nylon link bushings I had found some loose but not as bad as your situation. I would recommend you replace the nuts and install grade c or 8 prevailing locking torque nuts.
