So, is my pin weight the difference in those two?
This would be Tongue Weight.
PIN weight is a term used for 5th wheel trailers, not bumper pull trailers.
The person that mentioned the term originally has now confused the issue.

I don't think the gen y hitch would work with the Andersen system. Appears you would not have any sway control.
It should work just fine with Anderson. His bounce is up and down motion. Sway is side to side motion. One has nothing to do with the other.
To op, you could also try adding StableLoads to your truck. It essentially adds an additional leaf to your rear suspension. It worked nicely on mine.
Ok, but sway with Andersen is in the ball and friction material inside the hitch. Wouldn't sway be lost?

So, the front is sitting about the same height, and the back drops about 1 1/2". Does that sound reasonable?
We're taking another trip in a couple of weeks, and this one will take us by a place with scales. So, I'll get loaded measurements of the weight while we're out.

I have the same issue on I90 near Syracuse, NY (the stretch was done with new concrete a few years ago). I notice the bounce in the pickup with or without the trailer, just more pronounced with the trailer.
Between exit 39 and 40. I know that stretch well.
Pretty much any vehicle will gallop down that stretch of road. Slowing down or speeding up are the only choices, to break the harmonic.
H'mm, Odd my rig does not act up on that stretch of road. However the same interstate between exit 55 (the Lackawanna exit outside Buffalo) and the toll booths heading west will set my truck off on anything above 50mph.
There is obviously differences in the truck wheel base, weights, truck suspensions and camper setup that make some worse than others.
You 2 folks have issues between exit 39 & 40 and mine does not. But at exit 55, for sure I do have a problem there. Same road just different location.
