I have an uneven jawline that really bothers me.. No one I talk to about it says it's noticeable but when I look in the mirror it's all I can see. My chin also points more towards the right side of my face.. Is there anything I can do to make it look more even without having surgery?

You have whats called mentalis strain. thats seen in class 2 or open bite patients as they contract their mentalis muscle to close their mouth. This is what you are doing. You need a lower jaw surgery to correct this. Chin implant is just covering up the main problem being a bone issue. Some...
Yes it can. It usually involves both jaws. A piece of bone, like a wedge is removed from the top jaw on one side. The upper jaw is then straightened. The lower jaw is cut and repositioned relative to the upper jaw.
Yes it is not uncommon to have the jaw grow differently and develop an asymmetrical jawline. Your bite would also be less ideal as a result. Correction with Invisalign and a jaw rotation surgery would be successful and is quite common.
