But since I'm still relatively new and only just now getting the opportunity to participate in an early expansion economy, I just want to ask, because I've been absolutely vomiting materials onto the Market Board at undercut prices and smiling with greedy glee when they all sell before the person whom I have undercut.

Is this behaviour 'normal' or 'acceptable' in FFXIV?
Depends. Undercutting by a few Gil is normal. Folks that drop the price by half are probably being bought out by folks like me that will turn around wait a few days then get 2x to 3x the price you listed for selling at the normal going rate.
