Understand Ethereum gas fees

- I understand that gas fees are not always high and only high when there's a lot of network traffic. Does that mean gas fees are high when markets are down and everyone's trying to buy at the same time?
- I understand that gas fees will look egregiously high on small transactions. Is that because gas fees are independent of how much crypto your buying?
