Not normal, sounds like the panhard bar is bent. It locates the rear axle side to side.

50/50. The diff isn't centered under the car 100% but with everything stock, it shouldn't be that noticeable. If you stick wider tires/rims on the car, it becomes a lot more noticeable how much the stock diff isn't centered.

1-1/2 to 2" may be a little too much. As mentioned above, check for a bent panhard bar or upper brace.
