Wisdom tooth if not errupted or partially errupted can have all the above mentioned affects.
Atraumatically extracted wisdom tooth will not cause any such problem.
If you have been advised for extraction of wisdom tooth- don't overthink, get it done asap

Yes, wisdom teeth are prone to get locked in the jaws due to its last position.
Teeth that are incompletely come in the mouth cause problems like pain near ear, lower jaw, pain while opening or closing mouth.
Also swelling around the teeth can be seen.
Do consult an oral surgeon or dentist regarding the same.
