Caching AJAX calls with local storage

This won't actually cause anything to be evicted from the cache. It just adds a new cache entry with a new key. This is poor resource management, and removes some of the appeal of going out of your way to reuse the browser's cache mechanism.

Sure, but the HTTP cache is managed by the browser. Unless you are pulling down mammoth amounts of data, cache management is unlikely to be a concern for you.

Browsers cache many things each time you go to a website - all the html and assets (js/css/images) will be potentially cached (depending on headers). Often you will not go to that website again. They are optimised for this.
