Are Serial RX/TX Pins 13 and 14 available for Serial IO while the USB connection is live? Looking to install an LCD and drive off those pins.

Yes those pins are free to use. The SAMD21 that powers the P1AM-100 can have several serial ports.
To use the USB port, you can use Serial like normal as in: Serial.println( "USB Port ");
To use Pins 13 + 14, you use Serial1 as in: Serial1.println( "Pins 13 + 14 ");
In the Arduino IDE go to "File>Examples>04.Communication>SerialPassthrough " for an example. In the comments it'll say Pins 0 and 1, but in our case it is pins 13 and 14. The rest is the otherwise the same.
