Do not add any unwanted device in the circuit. Have correct sized wire for the application and the load current.

Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
The best indication of excessive current flow in an electrical circuit is if a protective fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips.Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to open a circuit when an excess amount of current occurs, so as to break that flow of current.The worst indication of excessive current flow is if a length of cable overheats and/or catches on fire...Equally bad is if a piece of electrical equipment - or its power cord and/or plug - overheats and/or catches on fire...
Alternating current is very important because the whole worlds uses it and it is the best method to transmit electricity around.

the complete and total absence of any point in the circuit where the current has any choice of which way to go ... no 'forks in the road'
The correct name is a Short Circuit.
Your question is a perfect, shining example of a case in which a drawing is virtually indispensable. With a drawing, I would have some clue regarding the nature of "the current", "the circuit", and "the metal" of which you speak. Without a drawing, about the best I can tell you is that the current, expressed in Amperes, in any series circuit is numerically equal to the quotient of the potential difference between the ends of the circuit, expressed in volts, divided by the sum of the resistances of every dissipative element in the circuit, expressed in ohms.

Because an ohmmeter works by putting a potential difference (voltage) across a load and measuring the resulting current (the current will be inversely proportionate to the resistance). In a live circuit there is already current flowing through the load so (at best) the reading will be inaccurate, at worst the meter will be damaged.
