I just bought these MKS Lambda pedals and I'm very happy with them. They look great, have a ton of surface area, and are very grippy. Also consider the MKS Sylvan which I've used for thousands of miles and are also very good.
I recommend cycling in boots (or trekking sandals), because you will want something rugged for all the walking you are going to be doing on your rest days, exploring a city with a Warm Showers host, say, or taking the opportunity to make a short hike. Bike shoes and clipless pedals, in my opinion, are a gimmick with sports cyclists in mind, not tourers. If you want more power on the upstroke, you can get Power Grips instead, though most tourers are not even going to find those more than a gimmick.
Also, clipless pedals are tiny little things because Shimano chases the ultra-lightweight sports market. For touring, I would recommend instead MKS Sylvan Tour pedals. It's comfortable on tour to have a nice, wide pedal.
Hah. Looking for concrete answers?

Not so sharp that she’ll dump you for getting them but still really grippy.
Nice classic look that would nice on a road bike.
Definitely flat platform. I ended up ordering these, but there's still several hours to cancel and order something else before it'd ship if you have any other reccomendations. I wasn't really interested in spikes because I didn't want to tear up my shoes or shins.
