Yes, that's correct. The mysql folder belongs to nobody:root, the subfolders and files are either owned by nobody:root or nobody:nogroup. If your permissions are wrong, then it could be a problem with the tar program. Ownership is saved in the tarball, so maybe there was an error during untar.

No, not really. Should be owned by root. The config file from an original PMA Installation is also owned by root.

Yes, that should be also owned by nodboy, otherwise the language selection in XAMPP will not work.
