Exposing the belly is a submissive posture. Maybe your pup is just too keyed up to lie still while on her back? And I would guess that sitting on your foot is reassuring to her, that she feels that you'll protect her.

In the case of the elderly dog and the pup, I would not let the pup harrass the older dog. Especially if the reprimands from the older dog are not working.
