There's always answers like "I think $X would be fair, it's a little more than I'm making now", or "it's close to what I was making before", etc.

I wouldn't frame it like that because now you're bargaining over what percent Y you deserve over your old salary--they are always going to try to push that down. Frame it as, "an engineer with my skills in this market is worth $Y, let's close this deal now". Remember they have a budget for how much they can spend for a position and you're trying to put yourself into that bucket.
Sure but my philosophy is all companies are lying to me during "negotiations" so fair is fair. I guess you could say that means it's also fair for them to further cheat and buy my info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
