RE: Should Americans always "Buy American"?
I was thinking this through some more in the shower, and realised that part of the equation that I hadn't been considering is what I, as a consumer, do with the savings I made. If I use it to buy free range eggs, instead of supermarket, for eg, I am using it to reward someone in NZ who shares my values. Thanks.

Yes, if you want free range eggs, you value that method of production much more than a savings you might enjoy on factory farm eggs. Which is why economic considerations aren't the only variables we use when determining how we value a product.
