Yes, perhaps make it all a little more gradual, but do have it looked into. Too many reports of people not going to see the doctor because of COVID-19 when they have problems that need treatment. With all the usual precautions (cover knees, start rides slowly, check bike set-up, etc.) you may well be fine, but with cycling issues like that can just very subtly creep up on you over the course of years while you're feeling absolutely fine.

Possibly. I normally do at least one 200km ride a month, but didn't for nearly 3 months (I still did a lot of riding, just nothing very long). Did one at the end of May and have been doing them regularly every since. I sort of refuse to believe it's the sudden introduction of long rides because I've always been fine when I've dropped a silly 600km audax or whatever into the mix, but I guess I should remember that's the longest I've not done a ride like that in nearly three years.
Today my calf feels very tender as well. Stupid body.
