That looks like a file that may or may not be pulled in by an
"Include" directive.
If typing gibberish into that file doesn't cause an immediate error
for apachectl -t then it's not being Include'ed.
I think it's likely you have PidFile in other config files.

That line should consider the PidFile directive. But there's no way
it's ever going to know anything about things specified in systemd.

I don't think so.

I don't think so. The hard-coded default is the server root + logs + httpd.pid.
In your case I think it's already overridden in a config file.
