It seems to me one of both
,----[ insert preamble ]
| <<preamble>>
| with the preamble having the header
| :var file-name="file_1.tex"
`----
or
,----[ eval preamble ]
| <<preamble(file-name="file_1.tex")>>
| without any :var header
`----
would be correct syntax, but using :var <variable> without assigning it should fail
(though I didn't test it).
Both wouldn't give the same result…

… as I read this as
"the noweb reference will expand in either
1. The litteral of the code-block if there are no parenthesis
2. The results of the block (as obtained with C-c C-c or
org-babel-execute-src-block) (which may depend of a :results header, maybe),
if parenthesis are present.
"
So if the OP wants to call the preamble block with an argument in the noweb
reference, then the preamble block might have to be more like
#+name: preamble
#+begin_src R :results output
print(tikzDevice(file-name))
#+end_src
called with
<<preamble(file-name="file_1.tex")>>
(but I don't know any R either, I just went myself through variable
substitution over the weekend)
Last alternative, which I use, is putting the file name in some named table,
and then passing it as an argument to
,----[ insert preamble ]
| <<preamble>>
| with the preamble having the header
| :var file-name=some-table[0,1]
`----
(Like
#+tblname: some-table
| file | "file_1.tex" |
)
HTH,
William
