I'm using knitr to convert .Rnw files to .pdf files. I can use Skim to jump from a position in the .pdf file to the .tex file produced by knitr.
How can I jump from a position in the .pdf file to the .Rnw?
Check out SyncTeX. For example, RStudio's PDF viewer provides a synchronization between the PDF and the underlying Rnw file, see here or here.

I have been using .Rmarkdown files to create blog posts in R blogdown. The output of chunk of codes in .Rmarkdown documents are printed in the console and not in the document.
If instead I create a .rmd file, then previews are in window. RStudio Global options are set to show preview in window for RMarkdown documents.
Is this an expected behavior of .rmarkdown files?
Thanks
The differences between .Rmarkdown and .Rmd is explained here. The most relevant quote being:
In this book, we usually mean .Rmd files when we say “R Markdown documents,” which are compiled to .html by default. However, there is another type of R Markdown document with the filename extension .Rmarkdown. Such R Markdown documents are compiled to Markdown documents with the extension .markdown, which will be processed by Hugo instead of Pandoc.
More specific differences are explained in the book linked above.
I use a program to produce a series of .tex files. I then manually copy the contents of the .tex files and add it to a .Rnw file (Sweave, compiled in RStudio IDE). Is there a way to automatically include the contents of .tex files in the .Rnw file such that the .tex files automatically compile and produce pretty text/figures/tables rather than require copying? Something like the below does not appear to produce what I desire when compiled.
<<>>=
# file.tex contains the code for a pretty LaTeX table
source("file.tex")
#
source is wrong, that is for running R code. Instead, if you are using knitr, you can use the child tag in a knitr chunk, something like:
<<my-child-document, child="file.tex">>=

I am trying to knit my Rnw file into PDF. With ess-noweb mode, I could knit and view the pdf but with polymode, I could knit to tex with name filename[woven].tex but could not view the pdf. Do I need to open the tex file again and compile it or is there any direct way?
Use M-n-e to export Rnw to PDF in polymode. It will take care of both weaving and latexing, and opens up the PDF for you.
I have a rmarkdown document (.Rmd) that I've been doing some analysis in. I now realize I would prefer the functionality of LaTeX. Is there an easy way to convert the file to .Rnw, preserving the chunks (not just the body text)? Articles seem to concentrate on converting the output (i.e. from .html to .pdf) or from sweave to markdown.
I really like using knitr in Rstudio and have been using it to write markdown presentations and data analysis. I want to use the same code and results in a paper and want to convert the code chunks in Rmd file ```{r} to the chunks of Rnw file << >>= #.
This allows using the same document and code written for presentation for the main paper as well.
Is there a way of converting between code chunks of markdown and Rnw files ?
or the entire file itself as apart from the difference in syntax of code chunks, they are quite similar in the markup (converting the text to latex is easy with say pandoc)
Instead of converting the whole document, you can just externalize your R code so it can be shared across different documents; see http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/externalization/
Once you have read_chunk('Rcode.r'), you can use ```{r label} in your Rmd and <<label>>= in your Rnw document, where label comes from the line ## #knitr label in the R script.
