A Y-adapter simply parallels two circuits.  There is no splitting as such.

The driving capability of the output circuitry normally is sufficient to
keep the output level nearly constant for any reasonable load.  Headphones
are the worst-case load; the input circuitry of an external amplifier
presents no appreciable load.  So the external amplifier sees whatever
output level results from plugging in the headphones.
