Consider what you feel when you use a broom to sweep a floor. You need to use the muscles in both arms. Since the hands are in contact with the broom this is where you are applying force to the broom.

Note that the top hand often remains relatively stationary and can act more or less as a pivot, but generally speaking you need to apply two forces in the direction you are sweeping. These forces are resisted by the friction between the broom and the floor.

What is the reaction force if a broom strikes a marble on a floor?

considering the action as the force of the broom on the marble, the reaction is the force exerted by the marble on the broom, this force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as stated the third law of Newton, the difference in the acceleration depends on the mass of each body.

What type of simple machine is in a broom?

A standard broom is a lever, which translates some force in the horizontal direction. The motion of one hand uses the other hand as a fulcrum, allowing the force of both hands to be exerted in the same direction. Either hand can be considered as a stationary or moving fulcrum. With the fulcrum at the top hand, a broom is a class 3 lever (load and force on same side of fulcrum). With the fulcrum fixed at the middle hand, a broom is a class 1 lever (force and load on opposite sides of the fulcrum). Push brooms and whisk brooms are not levers.
