Yes, it is appropriate for a Landlord to give a resident pointers on how to care for new carpet. It would also be appropriate to discuss care of a new oven or refrigerator. The investment is the landlord's and the tenant is expected to live in an apartment without damaging it (except for standard wear and tear). We have rental units and have put new carpet in for residents who have lived in our building a long time, we also have painted for tenants, replaced refrigerators, stoves, heating units. All of these at no charge to the tenant. When a long-term tenant moves out, we have a whole remodel to accomplish in order to re-rent and get good tenants who want things nice and are likely to keep them nice. - A Landlord's point of view.

The landlord has self-remedies, up to a point. But landlords cannot issue a "legal judgement". The landlord can deduct damages and unpaid rent from your security deposit, and the landlord or tenant can seek legal resolution.

Probably YES. Read your lease. The tenant may be held liable for all legal fees incurred by a landlord by actions of a tenant. Since the landlord had to provide a defense, he incurred fees.
