You're right, the throttle position is the major deciding factor for power enrichment. The pedal position and ETC are not a direct relationship. There's a long dead area in the pedal so that you have a wider drivability range. Just because you push the pedal halfway doesn't mean the throttle is open 50%. But yes, the 80-something % shown for pedal position is wide open throttle (ETC of 100%).
