Resistors Definition and 598 Threads

Hey guys, in the picture below, the current flowing through R1 is the same flowing through R3 right? And hence we have R1 and R3 in series? In this second picture R2 is going to cancel out because apparently that's what happens when you have a branch containing components parallel with a wire...
