It's possible. It depends on the location of the tumor. See an ophthalmologist ASAP.
It depends on whether the tumor is causing your symptoms or not. If it is unrelated, without knowing the size or location of the tumor, I cannot tell you whether it would be causing those symptoms or not. Even if it is, they may or may not resolve if the tumor is removed, depending on whether the affected brain or nerves have been permanently damaged already or not. This is a question best answered by your treating physician that can see your images and knows your exam.
There are several different locations and types of tumors that could cause this. For most, in my experience, I am able to remove the tumor and improve the vision problems.
It may or may not depending on the pathology. See your experts for checks
It's hard to answer for sure without knowing all the details, but a short answer would be it is likely that headaches, double vision are indeed related to the tumor and that surgery has a good chance of helping.
