The resistance out to the inflator would probably reduce the amount of current that fuse gets compared to the outlet fuse.
So, if both fuses are IDENTICAL, I would say the outlet fuse would blow first.
But this is just a guess on my part.
Nope, current would be constant throughout the circuit, but voltage would drop as you got closer to the load due to resistance in the wire. (So I don't know which fuse would blow first. Probably the one with the lower actual, not nominal, ampacity - although they're rated the same, there are likely manufacturing variations.)
