Does anyone know the answer to whether large content that is widely available becomes quicker to download similar to peers in BitTorrent?


Yes it does -- IPFS will fetch from multiple peers at the same time. It's not terribly optimized yet for finding even more peers for content if it's already fetching from some, but it already does generally fetch from multiple at the same time.
