That is not that bad they sell replacement panels for each front driver and passenger side and back driver and passenger side area for like $50. If you are handy with tools you can cut out the rusted section and put in a new panel.I just did my driver side front panel.

Yes you have to take the seats and carpet up, my spot was about the same size as yours, but the rusted area was about 4 times that size.The replacement panels cover the floor area, the front panel I replaced was about 2 feet by 3 feet. Pull the carpet out a take some pictures for us.

It will be worse when you remove everything. I replaced both my front are rears although only drivers front was totally gone others one I could of patched up places. Replacement pans weren't that much think mine were $65 each and were the KeyParts brand fit was real good. here is a pic of my front.

I fiberglassed both front pans inside and out. They were holed. The rear seat area, not so much. Had to grind out all the rust. When I was done I'd say about 10% of each front pan was gone. Not really all that bad. Just a bunch of work and a big mess.

Oops. I'd say before you start looking into panels, it'd be best to face your fears and pull the rest. Sorry to say it but, if that's isolated and the rest is all fine, you're very lucky.
When I did my floor repairs, I found the padding under the carpet was soaked through. I removed all of it front to back and have no noise complaints.
