Do dwarves automatically equip a better piece of equipment? As in a dwarf is in full iron armor, I make a set of Adamantine armor, would he automatically equip it himself?

Provided it meets the parameters of their uniform, yes they will equip better equipment as it becomes available. Squads/soldiers higher in the list get priority, so if your entire military is set to use metal armor and your militia commander gets a new, shinier breastplate, most of your military will then try to reshuffle their breastplates.

Dwarves equip equipment based on value; since bluemetal is by far the most valuable type of material, they'll equip that.

Not necessarily better in case of bluemetal blunt weapons

But yes as above, more valuable as long as it meets the uniform parameter, in order according to what I quoted.

Mostly to make me feel better, I address this by creating two new uniforms if/when my steel production ramps up - Steel Melee and Steel Archer, where I specify all the pieces in steel, including a steel melee or ranged weapon.
