Sometimes if I apply for a role, someone at the company will look at my LinkedIn a few days later. Is that the hiring manager? If so, why would they do that if they already have my resume?

I was thinking the exact same thing today. Kind of wondering how important it is that my LinkedIn profile is fully filled out with details

They compare your resume to your profile for consistency/ discrepancies. Also your LI profile can have more information than you've included on your resume that may add colour to your resume, information which you chose to exclude because you tailored your resume appropriately.
This is normal behaviour of recruiters and hiring managers.
