How do circuits work at a subatomic level?
Circuits do not work at the subatomic level. Circuits are an approximation to an approximation of what happens at the subatomic level.
Electromagnetism at the subatomic level is governed by quantum ...

What I think about surface charges in electrical circuits
Mostly correct.
Now the electrons that are at the positive terminal are pushed towards the negative terminal against the Lorentz force
No, along the Lorentz force, and due to the Lorentz force. (OP ...

How do circuits work at a subatomic level?
Since these resistors resist the flow of charge, therefore, they take
in some of that original push. Now it seems as if since the electrons
in the resistor can’t move as freely, the current decreases.....
