I'm not a TF2 player and I'm just curious - where those keys come from? What are the ways of obtaining them? Do they drop for free or what?

There's a huge market for those keys and tons of traders, which made me interested how it works.

Better to buy them via Steam Market or PayPal -> it's cheaper.

Additional question - can they be obtained in an illegal, glitched way? I've seen people offering them for like $1,5 a piece, which is way below the current market price. Just hunting for lower prices and selling at a higher price?

The primary source = ingame store. Most of the keys circulate through Paypal trades, Steam Market trades and direct trades.

Mann Co Store
Community market
And traders who bought them for much cheaper thanks to regional pricing and are now making a profit out of them.
