Please forgive the beginners question here, but when submitting books and declaring a value... do you list the value for a book as it currently exists,  or what it's expected to be after grading?

Plenty of threads concerning that question. Search around and you'll have plenty to read. 

You can declare  whatever you want.  Consider it an insurance value should something happen to it while CGC possess it and you want to pick up a replacement.

It determines your submission level and turnaround time.  It also drives your return shipping costs  if you use USPS.  Its expected value can be tricky, depending on your grading skills and if there's any restoration  that your unaware of.  If you bought it off the shelf yourself then the latter isn't an issue.

I've often wondered if the volatility of the market is a factor too. If you submit a book that is selling for $250 for a 9.8, and a month later when it hits their grading table it has skyrocketed to $1000, does that mean they will invoice you at a higher tier?

No.
