Maybe, but I only tested very briefly.  I have never used knitr and just
made up some test files.  Do you have some minimal sample files I could
use for testing?

Yes, that's the other thing I also have thought about.  You could also
set that buffer-locally as a file-local variable.  But of course that's
only concerned with citations and not references/toc.

Yes, totally unaware.  RefTeX only knows about the include commands in
`reftex-include-file-commands'.

,----[ C-h v reftex-include-file-commands RET ]
| reftex-include-file-commands is a variable defined in ‘reftex-vars.el’.
| Its value is ("include" "input")

|   This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| LaTeX commands which input another file.
| The file name is expected after the command, either in braces or separated

| You can customize this variable.
`----

And as you can see, it expects include commands to be in TeX format,
i.e., it automatically constructs regexps matching \include{filename}
and \input{filename} but not
<<arbitray-stuff, child='filename', more-stuff>>=.

Not with the current version of RefTeX in Emacs Git master branch.  I
could add some additional variable `reftex-extra-include-file-regexps`
where you could add, e.g., a regexp like

  "<<[[:word:],[:space:]]+?child='\\([^']+\\)'[[:word:],[:space:]]*?>>="

which would match the filename in your above example.

Bye,
Tassilo
