Current is pulled, not pushed. If too much current is getting through the resistor, it would be because the IC is pulling the current, which means it's already in trouble. My guess on the in-line resistors with the IC power pins would be an extra LPF for the power rail of each IC, in which case the exact value of the resistor isn't super important as long as you're getting close to the right corner frequency on the filter.Definitely insignificant. Sometimes engineers use tiny resistor values as circuit protection: if too much current flows, the resistor fails and it should protect the IC. It probably depends on the circuit tho and I’m not entirely convinced that it works.
