Regarding the shoes there should be about 4mm of lining thickness , but it should be obvious if they are thin . What happens is someone gets in and drives away with the brake on and wears them down . Easy to do especially if the grip is poor ..
Another thing , any sign of rust on the drum surface is bad , the rust particles act like ball bearings so no grip .

Okay yes that makes sense. Do I need to pull it out another click if the handbrake is fully on (holding the car at bite point) after 3 clicks on the foot pedal?
Yes very possible that it could have happened back when it was barely holding it, will definitely check it out to make sure there's enough material left on the shoes.
