Is there a theory on the underlying physics of why light is ambient?

I think you need to look up the meaning of the word 'Ambient'. It means 'the property of the surroundings or environment'. For example, if you stood in the middle of a forest while the wind is blowing, you would describe the noise of the trees and leaves moving as 'ambient noise'. Ambient light is just describing the 'background' light. For example, if an astronomer was trying to take pictures of the stars at sunset, he/she would describe the orange glow of the sunset as 'ambient light'. There's no theory attached to 'ambient light' it. Light is light... described by Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED).

Is there an advantage to putting a small light behind your LCD TV?

No. Any light other than the light from the TV is what is called Ambient light. Ambient light is always bad as it detracts from the viewing experience. It can distract your eyes and actually tire them more quickly. Phillips tried selling a LCD TV that had backlights built in. It didn't do well.
