Chapter 100 of RoW is titled “Watchers at the Rim”. Why is this so familiar, and what is its meaning?

It’s similar to the Night’s Watch vow in ASOIAF and has a similar meaning.

The Knight in the Starfall vision named the Radinats "Watchers at the Rim", and Kaladin said the same thing to Lirin in OB

It's what the ancient Alethi ancestors considered themselves.  From one of the visions in Way of Kings:

Quote

“ Every pasture needs three things. Flocks to grow, herdsmen to tend, and watchers at the rim. We of Alethela are those watchers--the warriors who protect and fight. We maintain the terrible arts of killing, then pass them on to others when the Desolation comes. ”
