P values?
Do they account solely for sampling error (therefore irrelevant when population data is available) OR do they serve to asses the likelihood of something being due to chance in other ways (therefore relevant for studies with population data)?

Any links or literature are welcome :)

P-values can be generated from various statistical tests, so a P-value gives no indication of whether the appropriate test was used to analyze the data.

Here are a couple of papers on P-values:
