It seems that I am having success with a table defined like this:

Good ... I had a typo in my response to you and you are correctly using
table-layout="auto" (the default).

<table>
 <table-body border-bottom="solid 1px #000">
   <table-row>
       <table-cell><block>Label Cell:</block></table-cell>
       <table-cell><block padding-left=".05in">Value
Cell</block></table-cell>
   </table-row
 </table-body>
</table>

Is it correct to assume that the table width will derive from the
total width of content (until it reaches parent object boundary
width)?

No, because with "auto" the formatter has every right to make its own
decisions about line breaks.

Or to be safe, should I conform with your option #1?

I've always used the wrappers just to be on the safe side.

(1) - use table-layout="fixed" and wrap the content of each cell in a
block
keeping the line contents together with something like
wrap-option="no-wrap"
or with a keep-together.within-line= to force the formatter to make its
table column decisions without breaking the line content

Sorry, in the above I meant to say table-layout="auto" but was apparently
thinking about the other values that are not appropriate when I actually was
doing the typing.

I hope this helps.
