What about Instant Gaming ? Is it also a website that only resales keys or do they have some kind of partnership with game devs?

Do we have any intel concerning the percentage that the editors gets in the best and worse case ? I'm wondering if it would be okay to buy AAA on such websites (or more like the company behind a game has enough money) but small editor games on official platforms...

They get none of the money because its purchased with stolen credit cards and the payment is charged back. I wouldn't lose any sleep screwing over a studio that has way too much money anyway, but you're also supporting the key reseller that is actively exploiting indie devs. Just stay away from them.

If it's EA or Take2 my personal codex would so: Go wild.

This is no legal advice
