Let's say I am interested in a memory address from a game.exe process so I ran the pointer scan and it gave me a path to my address and I did this scan with only game.exe and mymod.dll. This game can have a variable number of modules injected to it at anytime, would the path to my memory address stay the same or would it change if I rescanned?

the path is based on the modulename. Injecting other differently named modules should not have much effect on the pointer.
At most the injected dll could place a pointer to it's own dll somewhere in memory, and the pointerpath then takes that, but that'd be an invalid path then anyhow which a subsequent pointerscan should eliminate
