How might my previous HS resume be used, if at all? Would they be read and reviewed again by any department or any placement programs and taken into consideration when I apply to programs or internships?

Nope.
They will not be used in any way, unless you voluntarily put forth information when you apply to internships after freshman year. I haven't seen my high school stuff since I applied to colleges. The one exception may be SAT scores, which some companies ask for on resumes.

I think there's definitely a lot of competitiveness at Princeton. Even the freshman seminars are application based.

Well, it's competitive because people are smart and have high expectations of themselves, not because everyone constantly slaps each other with their resumes. The feeling of overt interpersonal competition is very limited; I probably felt more of that in my high school than here.
As for freshman seminars, it depends on the professor, I believe, but it's often just random picking. And the application consists of writing an essay explaining why you want to be in the class, not some rigorous review of any records. All they want is to preserve the seminar experience and not have a hundred people in a popular seminar.
