Currently printing with 5% infill and grid pattern. Why are some of the outer triangles filled in with just one layer? Doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Those look like bridge before it would build something in top of a part above where there would have previously been void. Making a scaffold of sorts for something above. Since they have to anchor to existing lines, they stretch between existing infill locations. With lower infill %, you'll see them more prominently.
This is the answer. They are bridges to support the next layer.
