Here in the UK, what we call a footpath you call a sidewalk. We also call the footpath a pavement, do you have any other terms for a sidewalk?

Sidewalk is pretty much all we call it. If it isn't paved, we call it a footpath, and rarely is it called a footpath in situations where there is no vehicular roadway next to it.
The word "pavement" over here is usually reserved for reporting what someone fell onto.

Nope, just sidewalk. I wouldn't know what you were referring to using the word footpath. To me that is more of a hiking term. You know, an unpaved surface in the wilderness. I have to watch British TV with the captions for the hearing impared (probably called something else there) turned on so I can understand what is going on! Some accents and slang can be very difficult to understand.

I've only known of sidewalk. Never heard any other term for it.
Footpath to me would make me think of a dirt path or unpaved path.

My mother used to tell us to "go sweep the walk." I have only heard the sidewalk called that by rural midwesterners.
