Whitlam's Glue Wash dos melt ABS glue and easily takes it off skin. Due to this ,and the fact nothing else can do this, I certainly think it's worth a try on the carpet. What can you lose, it's already messed up with yellow glue.
No, usually the varnish used on hardwood floors is resistant to turpentine. I would rather use Goof Off if I was removing carpet glue.
Dip a rag in Goof Off and rub it on the carpet glue, it will soften enough to peel it off.
That depends what kind of glue it is. -I would try Goof -Off for removing unknown glue from a carpet.
You should scrape the old glue off if you expect a flat surface.
Carpet glue by its nature is extremely sticky as it is made to keep a rug from moving. If you need to get the glue off of a concrete floor you can use a floor grinder. You can also scrape it.
You heat the back of them with a hairdryer as you slowly pull it off.

It would help immensely if you said WHICH glue made the stains. As this was during plumbing, it may have been yellow ABS Glue, in which case your best remover is Whitlam's Glue Wash. -Rub the stains with a rag dipped in this and they should soften and come off -IF it's ABS glue.Next time please -Name your Glue -

You can often chip away ABS glue. PVC glue is very resistant to chipping or melting. Generally it's easier to cut off an old fitting and glue another on.
Goof Off has more chance of working than anything. Rub it with this till it softens enough to peel off.
