I found the following settings for the sump bolts, which I've reproduced exactly (as I don't understand the difference):

Sump (Lower bolt(s))
Stage 1 - 5Nm
Stage 2 - 9Nm

Sump (Upper bolt(s))
Stage 1 - 5Nm
Stage 2 - 90 degrees

Can't find anything for the pickup.

While you're at that end of the engine, the oil drain plug is 25Nm.

Obvious question (for MJ) as I've never dealt with sump bolts before, but are those values so low because of the thinness of the metal used for the sump, to avoid distortion?
