For example, it seems that automatic reloading works just fine for InCommon metadata from a URL because it has a sort of built-in TTL... does that correlate with the cacheDuration argument for a file-backed metadata such that it will keep reloading a file after every duration and check for changes?

The filesystem metadata provider reloads when the IdP detects a change in the file.  And according to the parameters you specify on the timing..
