No and maybe: Appendicitis is neither related to ectopic pregnancy nor to future fertility. An ectopic pregnancy could affect future fertility however.

The pelvis: Appendectomy should have no bearing on the fallopian tubes and ectopic pregnancy. But ectopic pregnancy does interfere with future attempts at pregnancy.

No: Neither appendix itself, nor appendicitis are related to ectopic pregnancy. Removal of the appendix doesn't tell on the risk of subsequent ectopic pregnancy.
