I'm asking for clarification because I don't know the answer, but I don't want to take this as "biblical" truth (from an OOTP perspective). Is there evidence that the players "look" at other players salary's OR that the player AI looks at available payroll room of the league as a whole when it determines player salary demands?

I have two online leagues that can absolutely say with 99.9% certainty that this is the case. When you add a bunch of unclaimed cash into the system, players will simply demand more money. This is fairly easy for folks to test though. You don't notice the change immediately, but the next free agent period after the expansion suddenly most players will suddenly ask for roughly 25% more to re-sign or as free agents.
This only goes on for a few years and eventually evens out, but there is definitely some form of dynamic play in the financial system where players demand changes depending on available cash.
