Can this cause the concerns of the truck wondering around? Im gonna replace it anyways, just wondered if i was onto something.

Checking for loose part is allway the first thing, align shop should do before alignment is consiedered.

absolutely. you can go from toe-in to toe-out by hitting a bump. the caster andgle should keep you (basically) straight, but the bottom line is that your wheels can change their angle relative to each other and that means wandering.
