First off, does the game keep track of the yellow chips you pick up, even after your weapon is maxed out at level 6? I've noticed situations where I get hit once while at level 6, then my weapon powers up again with just one yellow chip even when it's not brought down to 0.
Nope, I guess it depends randomly by picking up between 1 to 6 chips. Each of them gives you 300 pts. When I was playing this game again, my power level is for example, level 5. I noticed that after picking up 3 chips, it goes up to the 6th. Note that green chips automatically powers up your weapon and it gives you 10k.

Second, just how many Blue Landers are there in the whole game? I only ever saw one, maybe two, but I did miss a lot of the destructible blocks that were tucked away in tight areas.
There are, I think, 3 Blue Landers and 1 Red Lander in the game. They are found on the following stages:
Stage 1: Bomb or use weapon 6 midway where there is a laddering wall there. Pick it up along with the bomb there.
Stage 5: Make sure you have adjusted your ship speed to 3, as it is covered by rocks to the very left with the rocky paths in it so you may want to use bomb or weapon 1 and switching to a side attack by pressing R. Grab it qucikly and hurry up before you get crushed!
Stage 10: It is covered by a pipe wall with the turrets. You have to bomb or use weapon 6 here. Just like stage 5, grab it before your ship gets crushed!
Now about the Red Landers:
Stage 9: The last green bunker before the lane with the 3 green bunkers. You have to BOMB here to grab it!
NOTE: Blue Landers are different from Red Landers. The similarities are they give both extends. The difference is the Red Lander gives you MAX power + Red Extend because there are two different types of extends here:
Blue Extend - brings you back to the nearest checkpoint.
Red Extend - automatically recovers you back into battle.

Lastly, at what score intervals does the game give you extra lives? I remember hearing the 'extra life' noise at certain points without having gotten an item, but I didn't keep track of what my score was each time it happened.
Extends are at the following score blocks:
- 100k
- 200k
- 500k
- every 500k
Well, that's it for now. If you've got any clarifications or corrections, pls. don't hesitate to post.
