I'm not sure where this drum is and guessing that it's on the driveshaft.

Yes, I was told it was on the drive shaft behind the trans.

Do you have any indicator lights in your display that says auto anything?

Just a " Park Brake " idiot light

Do you have a park position and does it do the same thing as the knob shown?

Shifter is just like what was on that year steering column in a pickup. When placed in drive/reverse, you have to pull the knob out to disengauge the parking brake. Once shifted back into park, the parking brake will reset itself.

Do you have a manual foot brake or handle as well?

No

With the ignition on and actuating the brake (engine off and out of the park position) can you hear any kind of a pump running that might indicate the release of this brake or must the engine be running for the rig to free roll?

Good idea, I have tried that yet.

I do know if I press the brake pedal with the engine off, I hear what sounds like an electric motor and feel something weird in the pedal.

All new to me, but you definitely have an auto park there of sorts and maybe a whole lot better than the GM design.
Best to educate yourself on it and not be depending on the so called experts who sometimes don't have a clue except for how to charge for not fixing things right.
