It is certainly possible that someone opens the dispenser and contaminates it. It is also possible that the room service guy has a cold and sneezes on your tray or worse, is disgruntled and contaminates your food! The probability is near zero for all.
Yes, I assume and expect that the linens are changed between stays. Throw pillows no, but I immediately remove those from the bed and toss them in the corner at the start of a stay.

I'll take my chances with the employee wheeling my food around the hotel. Guests in the room behind closed doors are another story.

Glassware from the bar/restaurant goes through a dishwasher. I don't know that all glassware from the room does, in fact I believe they're washed by hand many times.
