Basically, you are setting a general rule and then creating an exception (the Override) to cover the one player.

If you are setting the team to be aggressive, it is redundant to set any individual player strategies to be aggressive (IMHO)

I think the options for Adjust to Team vs Override are there to make it easier to change things later in the season and/or to adjust to different ballparks, perhaps.

I think it's a good idea to use the individual player strategy sliders sparingly, because you can easily get confused or forgetful about how everything is supposed to work (at least I can ).
That's a good point, how many posts about my best baserunner getting thrown out too often are because the player is set to run way too much.
