What is this
Not sure what this is or what it does. It doesn't seem to be part
of emergency brake cables, can't figure out what it does. Red arrows point to cables I'm talking about.

Yeah its pretty cheesy, but I couldnt figure what else it would be for. I would imagine that the pans and brackets are actually pretty strong. Maybe the idea, was in the event of a bad wreck, if the bolt brackets got pulled through the pan, that the cable would actually just keep the buckles from coming completely out. The cable would theoretically snag on the drive shaft. Maybe the tab isnt really intented to hold the cable to the crossmember for strength at all. Just to hold it there until needed. Its sure isnt 95 crash standard technology.

If your in a bad accident, it reinforces the seat belts from being ripped out of the car. Just an extra safety measure.
