API spec for FindPackageFile*() APIs

Do any of these APIs require admin, as e.g. PM.FindPackage does? Would be really nice to not have that restriction (and a selling point!)

No

PM.FindPackage requires admin privilege because it access per-machine and other-user information (not just current user).

These APIs only use current-user information thus no admin privilege needed.

How will these APIs play out when Administrator Protection is turned on?

No different than if you call existing APIs today e.g. GetCurrentPackagePath2(), GetPackagePathByFullName2(), GetCurrentPackageInfo2, GetPackageInfo2(), Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.EffectivePath and so on. Administrator Protection should handle these or have a good explanation why not and what to do about it.
