is there a difference in blade quality depending on how it was made; specifically heating metal up and hammering out a blade shape then filing and sharpening it, or just cutting the blade out of a large sheet of metal and sharpening it?

Yes there absolutely is. But it comes more down to the hardness of the material. In my experience blades that were stamped from a sheets usually use a softer material then forged blades. Additionally forged stell usually get tempered by quenching it in oil to increase the materials hardness. This is a step that cheap stamped knifes often skip.
You can get both types to be insanely sharp but that knife with the harder blade will last longer. Even an insanely sharp knife from a soft material will go dull really quick.
