"Pins" in this sense = legs. It's probably being used in a metaphorical sense, approximately the same as the idiom "pull the rug out from under us."
It basically means to knock down, metaphorically... to remove the support from an idea or corporation so that it "falls down" and is unable to compete.

As the company is called Bob Lépine, it's safe to say the name comes from the company name (probably the founder of the company).From Wikipedia - "A trademark on the term "bobby pin" was held for some decades by Bob Lépine Corporation of Buffalo, New York."Similarly, the British name for the same article is "kirby grip," and is derived from the trademarkKirbigrip, used by a Birmingham manufacturer of such pins, Kirby, Beard & Co.

In my experience the term 'executive agency' is for certain bureaus in the British government. Since NASA is a part of the US government it would not be an executive agency under this definition. If you mean, is it an agency falling under the US Executive Branch (under the President) then yes, it falls under the President.
