Is the salary earned from a previous job considered unlawful (haram) if part of the work involved practices that might be deceptive, such as adding an unrequested service to the customer without their knowledge (like fictional fumigation), given that the employee was unsure whether he had agreed to or performed such actions, and did not receive a commission from these sales?

As long as the work is permissible and performed as required, the salary earned from it is lawful. Mere doubt about the act leading to deceit or injustice to a client does not render the salary unlawful, for the default is safety and the absolution of one's responsibility.
