There's a wide sub surface walkway to just in front of kings cross
station from the overbridge at the former station, and its currently
disused.

Isn't that the tunnel which will be the main passageway from the northern
ticket hall to the Piccadilly and Victoria Line platforms.
See the sections near the "5" marks he

Do you have a more legible version of that map? It's a bit (!) hard to read.

I'd always thought that the tunnel ran further south-west and came out near
position 1 labelled "Kings Cross Mainline (ECML)". But I could be wrong:
it's a while since I used that tunnel because it was not very well
signposted from the KX Thameslink station (or else I kept missing the
signs!) and it was easier (even if slower) to come up to surface level and
cross Pentonville Road.

It's a combination of maps, and I'm afraid that's as good as it gets.

It shows what will e there when the rebuilding is finished (not what was
there before). However, east of the Victoria Line the foot tunnel (not
actually shown) follows the same route to the Thameslink station as it
used to (emerges at the bottom of the escalator up to ground level).

I don't remember where the foot tunnel went west of the Piccadilly line
- did it carry on as far as the Northern Line platforms, or not carry on
at all?

The section between the Victoria and Piccadilly has been given a
diversion round something, in recent years.

Not at all. It was to connect the Piccadilly to the Midland station.

What do you mean by "the Midland station"? The Widened Lines platforms?
