I think there is a big Game of Thrones inspiration in this chapter, especially as we know that Isayama likes this show. Zeke and Eren travelling through the memories really felt similar to the greensight in GoT: in both series, they can watch memories from past, present, (future?), because from the perspective of the place they are in (The Path/The weirwoods), time isn't linear. And in both series, they have some astral body that doesn't seem to be affected by their physical state in the real world. Plus, they can have small interactions with the people they see, and the funny thing is that in both cases it's a father that "heard/saw" his son (Zeke/Grisha and Bran/Eddard). I would guess that, just like in GoT, if there is a small interaction between the "watchers" of the memories and the people from the memories, it's not changing something in the timeline, it's just making something that has always happened. Tho, from the perspective of the people from the memories, it's not very important: in GoT, Eddard just heard some weird echo, and Grisha probably thought it was a dream, especially as he was already in a sleepy state.
