So I know that in the case of Clone, cards like Darksteel Mutation don’t prevent it from copying what a creature originally was. But does that same rule apply to Followed Footsteps? If I put it on a creature that was made a 0/1 with the Mutation, do I get copies of the insect or copies of the original creature?

The same rules apply. Followed Footsteps is a copy effect the same as Clone. You copy only what's printed on the original, no effects that are currently modifying the original's characteristics are copied, with the exception of other copy effects (for example, if the creature you enchant with Followed Footsteps is a Clone that's currently a copy of something, the tokens you get are that something, not fresh Clones that can copy anything).

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.

That’s what I was hoping for. I was looking at the new Oko, Thief of Crowns second ability and was wondering about using this to abuse it with Clone effects. Thank you for your answer!
