It's been two years since I looked at the extremely difficult to access fuse panel but my recollection is that the car uses micro3 3 terminal fuses and micro2 2 terminal fuses.
Here is one possibility.

I have not used this item, just did a search for micro2 fuse tap.
There is a white plastic fuse puller stored in the upper left area of the fuse block. I recommend that you stuff a towel behind the carpeting before removing anything from the fuse block. If you drop the puller or a fuse it will end up behind the carpet. It is not easy to retrieve anything from behind the carpet.

Yes. They would not wire all of the fuse locations with the wire size required to support 30 amps. I would say the specified fuse size is the maximum for that position. Going to a lower value for the tapped fuse would not be a problem.
It also appears that for the micro3 fuses only one side is used. I didn't do an exhaustive check but this means that if a three terminal fuse blows the fuse could be pulled, flipped over and reinserted to get a good fuse. Not that anyone is likely to do that on the road given how difficult it is to get to the fuse panel.
