More importantly, if the probes were to be left in low orbit, there was the possibility that they could damage one of the previous Apollo or Soviet lunar lander sites. What Soviet lunar landing site? Did I miss something?

The Soviets didn’t walk on the moon, but they landed some probes, including the first one ever I believe.
See Lunokhod. Means “Moon Walk”.

Could be the one where our guys buried the Russian crew. That was the mission where one roll of film "didn't develop".....

The Soviets were first to achieve controlled (unmaned) landings on the Moon and Venus.
The moon lander was a success and sent back the first photos from the lunar surface. The Venus lander failed while transmitting the first photo.

Per my other post- the Soviets landed unmanned probes on the Moon. They were also the first to land probes on the surface of Venus.
