Does braking with the left foot increase the

In a panic situation, do left-foot brakers tend to mash down both pedals
(brake and throttle) at the same time?
Some definitely do.
Left foot braking is generally hard on brakes,
One car I drove for a few months pretty well REQUIRED left foot
braking, or the car would stall at intersections. Replacing the
dash-pot solved that problem.
