There are several different types of ammunition (e.g. sniper rifle, launcher, grenades, etc.). I think being very low on a type of ammunition increases the chance that ammunition of that type spawns in the world, such as from piles and ammo chests. Is this true? If so, does the chance increase at a flat rate relative to ammo amount, or is it that, below a certain amount, ammo of that type is more likely to spawn (at a new static chance)?

When you get low on a certain ammo type, the game does notice that and acts accordingly. From an Inside the Box blog post:
It's a great article to read anyway. Very in-depth look at how loot is generated. A related tip: if you are really low in something like Sniper ammo and come upon a series of ammo boxes: open all of them before taking any. That way, your low ammo state will be in effect for all the boxes and you'll get more.
