No I'm not planning electrolysis but a water resistor as current limiting
device for arc welding

Not a very safe way to weld as open circuit voltage between electrode and
work would be at line voltage. Not to mention electrode/resistor to ground
also at line voltage. Save up and buy a used 'Buzz box' for about $50 usd.
or so. Much safer and adjustable.

Yes. This was semirural when the condominium was built some 25 years ago.

Electrically producing your own Oxygen from water will also produce
twice
the amount of Hydrogen gas. You would also need to compress the gasses
somewhat for use in a torch. Some serious hazards to consider.
