So I'm new here and I want to know how to have an actor randomly spawn whenever another actor is killed, eaten, etc

One can randomize spawning location, which actor type to spawn and when to spawn (and possibly more things could be randomized). What combination of these are you wanting?

More specifically, my main character will "eat" another actor, then quickly afterwards, another of the same actor randomly spawning somewhere in the world

So, in world act method: 
if (getObjects(OtherActor.class).isEmpty() && Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(150) == 0)
{
    int x = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWidth());
    int y = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getHeight());
    addObject(new OtherActor(), x, y);
}
