Are there any scriptural or Bible references that brings up this aspect of limitedness of Jesus Christ, perhaps like the meaning of Vigraha or Idol representing the Unlimited in a limited way.. with a theme Is and Beyond..
Or is it, the limitedness of Jesus with particular body and its shape is entirely different from an Unlimited Father / God ie unfathomable ..
What are your thoughts in this regard ?

Could this be the Real Meaning that Jesus meant when He said "I am the way"... with a theme Is and Beyond ?

No! In Matthew 9:4, Though the Lord Jesus humbled Himself and set aside the independent use of His divine prerogitives in incarnation (John 5:30), He was still fully God and , therefore, omniscient. (John 5:23)
Jesus did not cease being God or divest Himself of divine attributes in order to become man. Rather, He took on a human nature (an addition, not a subtraction), and sumitted the use of His divine attributes to the will of the Father.There were times when His omnicience was veiled by His humanity in accordance with the Father's will. Christ was subject to the normal process of human grown, intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially (Luke 2:51,52) Christ was subjected to all of this for Us. God is unfathomable to most all humans, so He sent a part of himself, Jesus Christ, to help us to have a little understanding of Him. Just as in your other question, The icons or Vigrahas of Gods and Goddesses also help the seekers to focus on the concepts. These icons are not imaginations but they are manifestations of the Supreme Being in the inner Yogic visions of the seers. Thus the icons depict the divine forces in a visible form. Seems that many deities have simularities....?...
Christ is at the right hand of power, authority, an honor. It implies that the Son is under authority of the Father. The seat that Chris has taken is the throne of God where He rules as sovereighn Lord. He is a victorious Savior, not a defeated martyr. Also imply the completion of His atoning work, and now being superior to the angels.
"Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! Romans 11:33.

Being Catholic I am going to answer this as best I can with what I think you may mean by this question.
I have always said: the saints are like arrows that point to the divinity - Jesus - the one we associate as God.
Jesus, in my opinion is like an arrow that points to God. He leads us straight to Him.
People may have needed something to identify God with - and that is the why the need for Jesus (besides His salvation plan). This is something I have always thought even as a child I use to doodle on my paper and have eyes all over my page with arrows or doodle Jesus with arrows. Because I always thought Jesus was the arrow that took us straight to God. I don't know if this is what you meant but this is how I interpreted your question.
And no I do not believe Jesus is limited now that He has arisen and sits at the right hand of the Father.

Jesus as God is unlimited. Jesus is 1/3 of the Holy Trinity that includes God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit, like the leaves on a shamrock, three leaves...one plant: Three leaves of one God. As a man he was only restricted by choice to the same limits as any other man, he chose to live as a man to show man how to live. But after His resurrection there are no limits to his being, as there were none before His birth to a virgin Mother.

Jesus was restricted to his body when he was here on earth. But now he is in heaven, yes he is unfathomable like his Father God Almighty. PBUH
P.S.
I had a dyslectic moment when I saw the word "Vigraha". At first it looked like "Viagra". LOL! Forgive me, I just wanted to confess that mistake.

Nope.
Spiritual body.
I AM THAT I AM (ehyeh asher ehyeh) in the Hebrew and it means, I will be what I will be.
