No: Tendon problems associated with that class of antibiotic are rare but occur. Generally this is not a significant issue to worry about. I hope it cleared the infection it was prescribed for which is the important issue.

No: Even though there is a risk of tendon rupture associated with levofloxacin, it's mechanism is a loss of blood supply. The acl graft matures by drawing from the surrounding fluid within the joint, and should not have a higher risk. There is currently no evidence to suggest acl tear association with Levofloxacin use. It is most commonly associated with achilles ruptures.
