(1) Monero doesn't have transaction chaining, so if you want to "reroute a payment" you can't do it atomically. The best you can do is wait 10 blocks and then send some or all of the money to other people, and if the sender is relying on you to do that, he'd better pray you dont exit scam. Lightning is way out in front on this because it natively supports atomic transaction chaining and amount forwarding. It just works.
(2) If someone does the "wait 10 blocks" workaround mentioned above, the sender cannot see where the rerouted portion has gone unless he does some blockchain analytics, and even then, the most up-to-date techniques do not always successfully track monero payments. But they sometimes do.
