I was wondering if I should estimate the amount of salt I need proportionally to the volume of water or to the amount of pasta?

The water....but no need to be super precise. You should be able to taste the salt. Under or unsalted pasta water results in a flat tasting pasta. However, it is possible to over salt the water, resulting in over-salted pasta.
