Okay. Network-wide would be best as it includes all non-HTTP traffic
people are doing.

But if that is not possible you might be able to configure it only
within the Squid machine. The key thing is that packets do not even get
delivered to Squid unless there is available bandwidth to spend on them.
ICMP and TCP can take care of the congestion issues.

No. Sorry. The "if" directives are for per-process configuration only,
as a workaround for incomplete SMP support in some features.
