Concerning the wet carpet, does your AC work?  If it does, the water may be coming from a plugged drain hose from your condenser.  The condenser is under the dash and drains to the outside.  This is the water that drains from a car that is parked after the AC has been used.  Go underneath the car at about the location of the dash and look for a flat rubber tube.  Pinch it to get the trash out and water will start to flow.

Get someone to stand outside your car with a hose, while you were inside. It's helped me find leaks on friends cars.

Also if your carpet has been getting wet for a while, pull it back and let it dry out or you will get mold/rust issues under the carpet.

You might even find you have to replace the carpet if it's been a while.

Basically, pull it back though and get a carpet shampoo'r and do both sides of the carpet, and let it dry out before you put it back.
