I noticed in Spider-Man's recent cameo in Captain Marvel, he appeared an awful lot like Andrew Garfield who is playing Spider-Man in the recent movie.
Irrelevant of whether it is just my imagination, do some depictions of comic characters morph to be more like an actor who plays them around the time a corresponding movie is released?

Yes, that certainly does happen. I don't know if the Spider-Man example you brought was explicitly drawn to resemble Andrew Garfield, but this is definitely true of Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.
For years, Fury was depicted as white, and was even portrayed by David Hasselhoff.
However, a few years ago Marvel cast Samuel Jackson as Fury as part of their lead-in to the Avengers movie. This led to the character of Fury in the Ultimate Marvel continuity, originally designed as a Caucasian Italian, to be re-imagined to look like Jackson:
