I have gone through your post and found something there.
If you look at the top pic there is an L shaped hole in the board, there is orange wire behind the hole, the wire is a similar colour to burned copper.
I thought it was a burned PCB track in the area of the relay, on second inspection it is obviously a hole.

From what I remember PID control is proportional, integral and derivative control.
It isn't used for straight on/off control, it will use something like a resistance thermometer as a detector and drive a 1-5v or 4-20mA output which needs some sort of interface to ramp up and down the power to the heater.
Proportional basically causes a change in output directly in proportion to the input.
Integral causes a change in output which ramps it up/down with time depending on the difference between setpoint and actual (aka error)
Derivative causes a change in output relative to the rate of change of the error with respect to time
