If I was compressing air, I would think the pedal would push down closer to the floor before the slave started to move, and therefore when I released the clutch the engagement would happen sooner, giving me a low pedal?

Correct.

Ha, well, just ran an errand for work... throw out bearing is starting to chirp! Before I do anything fancy I will put a new clutch in it... I don't have any leaks, but is it recommended to replace the slave and master cyls, and if so, is there a brand that is suggested for a daily driver that sees no rough use at all?

Read through this post quick, as suggested the disc most likely is worn out.

On many hydraulic clutch systems, when everything else is okay, and the clutch catches high, time for disc replacement.
