Why would a fuel pump stop working if it sucked fumes or nothing at all? Are
they "lubricated" by the fuel running through them?

It happened to me, I had a new fuel pump about 6 months ago, the B6 had fuel
pump issues anyway

The pump is cooled by the fuel in the tank.

I typically will fill up when the light comes on, just above 'E'. At
that point, it will take something like 14 - 14.5 gallons, meaning
there is between 2 and 2.5 gallons left in the tank (16.6 gallon tank).
The most I ever put in was 15.1 gallons, and the needle was hard up
against 'E' for quite a while.

The most I ever put in was 15.6 gallons in my 98.5 A4 2.8Q, and I
really didn't intend to go that long, I just couldn't get to a gas
station sooner.

Yes, completely.
