Replacing burnt carpet - betterment?

No, I think you should pay 100% of the fitting of the carpet and the delivery charge unless the quote the landlord has been provided with splits the fitting between the carpet and the lino. I doubt the delivery charge for two items would be more than just the one. Why don't you contact the company who did the quote and ask them? I'd also ask them what the separate charge for fitting the underlay would be because if you don't think it's reasonable to supply a completely new underlay then it won't need to be fitted, will it?
As for the carpet not having been actually delivered and fitted: the landlord has no obligation to do so. You did the damage and therefore need to pay a fair price for it. What the landlord chooses to do with the money is not material.0
