BLUE paths are jus that - paths that Federation NPC ships take between systems. They act as vendors for coommodities needed for some missions.
Anywhere other than Fed space, the paths serve a similar function - save you'll never see a trade ship on 'em - theink they're there for additional content other than in Klingon territory (haven't played Klingon so don't know if there's similar there).
Where you see a path go into a whirlpool-like thing that's a warp point - it'll take you to a adjoining sector immediately. Can save some time if you're traveling due to better placement - on the System List they sow as <sector name> Warp. Again, think they're future content - as the only one I know of that works is in Romulan spacce, and takes you to Sirius.

They should make you travel like double the speed, but you have to manually control and stay in them.
Altitude and center wise.
