See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the electric field inside a resistor is given by $$E=\dfrac{\Delta V_R}{L}$$ where $\Delta V_R=IR$ $$E=\dfrac{IR}{L}$$ Hence, $$\boxed{E_{\rm surface}=\dfrac{IR}{L}}$$ Now we need to find the magnetic field, $$\oint \vec B\cdot d\vec s=\mu_0I_{\rm through}$$ The wire is cylindrically shaped, so $$B(2\pi r)=\mu_0I $$ Hence, $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0I }{2\pi r}$$ Thus, $$\boxed{B_{\rm surface}=\dfrac{\mu_0I }{2\pi r}}$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ We know that the Poynting vector is given by $$\vec S=\dfrac{\vec E\times \vec B}{\mu_0}$$ And its direction is into the curved surface. Now we can find its magnitude by plugging from the two boxed formula above. $$S=\dfrac{1}{\color{red}{\bf\not} \mu_0}\left[\dfrac{IR}{L}\times \dfrac{\color{red}{\bf\not} \mu_0I }{2\pi r}\right]$$ $$\boxed{S= \dfrac{I^2R}{2\pi r L} }$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [c]}$$ Integrating as the author asked, $$\oint \vec S\cdot d \vec A=\int_{\rm surface}\vec S\cdot d \vec A+2\int_{\rm base}\vec S\cdot d \vec A$$ The cylindrical wire has two bases and an external surface. $$\oint \vec S\cdot d \vec A=\int_{\rm surface} S d A\cos0^\circ+2\int_{\rm base} S dA \cos 90^\circ$$ $$\oint \vec S\cdot d \vec A=\int_{\rm surface} S d A =S(2\pi r L)$$ Plug $S$ from the last boxed formula above, $$\oint \vec S\cdot d \vec A= \dfrac{I^2R}{2\pi r L}(2\pi r L)$$ $$\boxed{\oint \vec S\cdot d \vec A= I^2R}$$ This is also the value of the dissipated power by the resistor. Recalling that the Poynting vector is given by $P/A$ where $P$ is the power and $A$ is the unit area.
