What happens to a water molecule when it passes through a small amount of electric current? Does it change the molecular structure of the water molecule or does it just conduct the electricity to the nearest path of least resistance?

Water is not a conductor, dissolved salts and minerals in the water are the conductors. With these salts and minerals in place yes the water molecule can be change its call electrolysis. So can the molecules of the dissolved salts.

I believe it will conduct electricity. Electricity and water do not mix. LOL
