Yes. It's a resistive load, just like a light bulb. I find it
difficult to believe that 15 amps is correct, that would be 1800 watts

If you use the Lutron dimmer, make sure that the warmer is under 300
watts, or get one a bit more robust.

If it's controlled by a thermostat wouldn't lowering the voltage just make
it take longer to reach the same temp?

I don't think it is controlled by a thermostat. I think it is just on.
At least, it doesn't appear to have any kind of temperature control.
