I have a flow, linked to my Power App form, when a user clicks a button, the record is converted to a PDF and stored in SP doc lib.

Is it possible for me to email a user who submitted my form, I know i need to create a variable but what type of variable should that be, object, string etc?

Can I then reference that same variable in the body of my email but to show there displayname as opposed to email address i.e. Dear originator DisplayName?
I have done the following and my flow fails at create file with an error:

"message": "The response is not in a JSON format.", status code 400

But my flow works fine from PAs if i do not have the yellow highlighted steps:

Initialize a string variable and save there an email address. Use this variable to fill out the To: field in Send an email (v2).

Did you try to initialize var_user as String? Show error if it's appeared.
