No. I have never heard of that. Torn Hip labrum can be degenerative ( age related) or traumatic such as a car accident.
Very unlikely
No.
Very, very unlikely absent a discrete injury during physical therapy. Your orthopedic surgeon can order imaging and discuss your options further.

Good luck,

I don't think so. You possibly exerted yourself too much after Surgery.
No, if it was diagnosed at the same time that was coincidental.
Not usually.Probably had both independently.
