Not usually: A lower wisdom tooth is not typically associated with sinus issues if that was the only tooth worked on. It may be a coincidence or related to other issues, most likely. If it is making you want to sneeze, it would be appropriate to get it looked at so as to not compromise your healing.

Unlikely: Unlikely due to #32 extraction. I'd recommend OTC decongestants. See ENT doc if symptoms persist.

Not related: Sinus exposure and congestion can occur with upper wisdom tooth extractions. Nasal congestion can be caused by anything that irritates or inflames the nasal tissues and not #32 extraction.
