Hemorrhoids: This is likely hemorrhoids or perhaps an anal fissure. Certainly polyps or tumors are also possible but much less likely in such a young person. All rectal bleeding should be discussed with your doctor. At a minimum a rectal exam should be performed. A sigmoidoscopy would also be reasonable.

Yes: Colon cancer and polyps can be genetically related. If either of these are in your family or personal history, get to an expert and get regular colon screening. If you are having bleeding it needs to be evaluated regardless of your age.
